Configuring the SP MIB to be used by NetView for AIX

  1. Copy the file /usr/lpp/ssp/config/snmp_proxy/ibmSPMIB.my from an SP node into /usr/OV/snmp_mibs as ibmSP.mib on the node running NetView for AIX.
  2. If you have dependent nodes attached to your SP system, copy the file /usr/lpp/ssp/config/spmgrd/ibmSPDepNode.my from the control workstation into /usr/OV/snmp_mibs as ibmSPDepNode.mib on the node running NetView for AIX.
  3. Load the appropriate MIBs using the NetView for AIX menu option Load/Unload MIBs.
