7.5.1 Problems when SNMP Agent is starting

If you cannot start SNMP Agent, check the following:

• Software version and file access permissions

  By default, on the master agent and subagents, access permissions to SNMP Agent files can be executed only by root.

• SNMP reception port number

  If the SNMP reception port number of SNMP Agent conflicts with the SNMP reception port number of a native agent or an SNMP agent of another company, change the SNMP reception port of SNMP Agent as described in 3.4 Changing the SNMP reception port on SNMP Agent.

• Environment variable definition files

  If an environment variable definition file is backed up with a file name that begins with Snmp, the backup file could be mistakenly read as an environment variable definition file. For details about what to be aware of when backing up the environment variable definition file, see 3.7 Notes about operations.
