How to Configure HP OpenView to Accept SNMP Traps
Resolution

To set up HP OpenView:

  1. Start the OpenView Node manager.

    Note: If you are running OpenView on the Windows NT operating environment, make sure that SNMP Service (Control Panel>Networks>Services>SNMP Service) is installed and the service is started ( netstart /stop snmp ) before you start OpenView.

  2. Click Options>Load/Unload MIBS : SNMP.
  3. Click Browse. Load snmp / mibs /piv1.mib or snmp / mibs /piv2.mib. Click Save.

    Note: The *.mib files can be found on the enVision server in the %_envision%\etc\mibs directory. They are called piv1-mib.txt and piv2-mib.txt.

     

  4. Click Options>Event Configuration.  The system displays the Event Configuration dialog box.
  5. Click PrivateI in the Enterprises block.
  6. Double-click ospiGenericTrap in the Events for Enterprise PrivateI block.  The system displays the description of the event with the variable octet string.
  7. Click on the Event Message tab.
    1. Select Log And Display in Category.  Select a category (for example, Application Alarms).
    2. Copy the Event Log Message from the Enterprises (1.3.6.1.4.1) Event and paste it in the Event Log Message of the ospiGenericTrap .  You can edit this string for the appropriate presentation of record in the alarm records.
  8. Click on the Action tab.
    1. If you want the system to display a pop up, type a string in the Pop Up field.
    2. If you want the system to invoke certain applications when the event occurs, type a command string with args .

     

  9. Click Save and close the Event Configuration dialog box.
