2.2.1 Preparations for installation

The following describes the preparations for installing SNMP Agent.

Procedure

1. Make sure that the prerequisite patches for SNMP Agent have been installed.

   Problems can occur if the prerequisite patches are not installed, such as the return of an invalid MIB value as a response, or a MIB value acquisition error. For details about the prerequisite patches for SNMP Agent, see D. List of Prerequisite Patches and Processes (Services) for SNMP Agent.

2. Adjust the OS kernel parameter settings in order to allocate the resources that are required for SNMP Agent execution.

   For details about the kernel parameters, see C. List of Kernel Parameters.

3. Make sure that the native agent has been configured.

   A native agent is a required program for SNMP Agent. For details about installing a native agent, see 2.4.2 Notes about installation (for Solaris) or 2.4.4 Notes about installation (for Linux).
