SNMP on AIX 4.x

[Russell Adams]

I've had limited success getting Hostmib and SNMP off of AIX
5.2. However, its fallen short of what I've hoped for. I want to get
complete Hostmib data (processes and disk, etc) and its only providing
a subset.

Here's samples from my /etc/snmpd.conf:

logging         file=/usr/tmp/snmpd.log         enabled 
logging         size=0                          level=0

community       public
#community       private 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 readWrite
#community       system  127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 readWrite 1.17.2

view            1.17.2          system enterprises view
view            1.17.3          host view

trap            public          127.0.0.1       1.2.3   fe      #
loopback

#snmpd          maxpacket=1024 querytimeout=120 smuxtimeout=60

smux            1.3.6.1.4.1.2.3.1.2.1.2         gated_password  #
gated
smux            1.3.6.1.4.1.2.3.1.2.2.1.1.2     dpid_password   #dpid

                              
snmpd smuxtimeout=200 #muxatmd
smux 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.3.1.2.3.1.1 password #muxatmd
smux            1.3.6.1.4.1.2.3.1.2.1.3         password      # xmservd
smux     1.3.6.1.4.1.2.3.1.2.1.5      password # HACMP/ES for AIX clsmuxpd


The relevant portion that enabled Hostmib was the "host view"
statement.

I hope this might help, and perhaps someone knows more about enabling
Hostmib on AIX 5.2.
