4182.0. "Managing SCO-Unix boxes?" by NEWPRT::SCHOOLER_CH (Cheap? thrill...Jump a horse) Tue Dec 01 1992 22:21

Anyone had any experience, good or bad, managing SCO UNIX boxes from DECmcc?  I 
assume that the MIB is available and can be compiled into the MIR.  I further 
assume that SCO will respond to SNMP commands.  Hopefully I didn't assume too
much. (It wouldn't be the first time).  Your comment are most appreciated.

4182.1Ipreachability testBERE::TINNELLYConsultancy for fee NOT free..Fri Dec 04 1992 08:247
Hello,

the only experience i have had, is that we have a customer (DOD) with SCO UNIX
boxes, and i have a rule checking for Ipreachability which works ok.
ie when box goes down the icon changes colour.

4182.2ipReachability rule only does a ping'CUJO::HILLDan Hill-Net.Mgt.-Customer ResidentTue Dec 08 1992 23:0011
    To add to Peter's note, the alarm rule expression
    (SNMP * ipReachability = DOWN, at every 00:05:00)
    only uses ICMP protocol to 'ping' a TCP/IP host.  No SNMP agent is
    required on the host, in this case, a SCO/Unix system.
    
    I do not know where you might find an agent and associated MIB to run
    on the SCO system.  Try asking SCO .
    
    Regards,
    Dan Hill
