Hi mmoriaux,
I need to know if the SunMC 3.5 Update 1b agent is
supported by a server SUN V20Z (based on a AMD
Opteron processor) on a SOLARIS 10. I can't find this
information in any Sun documentation.SunMC 3.5.1a and later support any platform running Solaris 10 x86 (http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-1989/6n4ae1pqk?a=view), although you don't see any special modules for their hardware until 3.6 (and then only if you're running N1SM: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-7958/6mn891ldq?a=view)
My problem is that the agent seems to be
well-installed, but when it's started, the ports 161,
162 etc. are not in the state "listening" on the
server.Agents don't use port 162, only 161 (the SunMC Server is a different matter) ... and even then on any recent version of Solaris port 161 is taken by another process out-of-the-box.
So, are you sure the Agent is running? The process will be called "esd - init agent" in a ps listing.
And are you sure it's trying to use port 161? You can look in it's configuration file (/var/opt/SUNWsymon/cfg/domain-config.x) in the "agent = { ... }" section for the port:
agent = {
snmpPort = "XXXX"
