Thanks Mike for answering. I am simply using the freeware SMC 3.0 because it was the only copy I could source for. downloading it seems impractical given the size. We do not intend to implement SRS because its an enclosed environment. From the documents from sun, it is implied that from Symon 1.6
http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/805-4829/6j4io2pah?a=view, we should have the mibs for hardware component monitoring, but I havent really found what I want from the sun site or
http://www.mibdepot.com. after all the hassle, I am wondering if it would simply be cleaner to implement an snmp trap (for hardware component monitoring) using the generic tools on sun & perl given that critical errors and failures should be readable and grepped off some of the syslog or var/admin logs.
regards, Veni
