You should receive a "STATUS: Normal" message (at least I hope normal is the status on you system) every round hour. The system sends it when at the same time it writes the message to the console. If it doesn't try the following:

Snmp traps enable Snmp init 1

This should generate a bunch of messages also if snmp was not initialized. You can also run 'snmp init 0' and then 'snmp init 1' and see what happen.

I was interested in this as well, we want to run a scheduled snmp check which will verify our system is working. I would like to write some sort of RSH job to generate a generic trap which we could run weekly. Pulling out a fan is actually how we checked this, but it is not a preferable regular testing procedure. Any Ideas? Drew

Unscrew one of the fans, pull it out, wait for the light to turn orange, push it back in. That should fire 4 snmp traps: 1. FanFail 2. Status critical 3. FanRepaired 4. Status normal

All:

I set up some snmp traps via filer view and I would like to simulate or test the traps to make sure they works. I set up traps for a failed disk, failed pdu,

failed fan, and cluster failover notification. The filer is in production and I would like to find a way to test this out without actually failing the hardware myself. Any ideas?
