Subject: RE: [NV-L] snmpCollect vs
nvcollectord
You cannot integrate (out-of-the-box) NetView SNMP
performance data with the Tivoli Data Warehouse if you choose to use the new
SNMP collector functionality. So for those wanting to move NetView SNMP collected
data into the TDW, you need to stick with the orginal snmpCollect function.
Please
don't mistake the use of a DB2 database by snmpCollect for integration with TDW
and the use of a DB2 database for the new SNMP data collection functions. You
need a DB2 based RDBMS for both solutions.
Let
me also add, there is currently a requirement that the DB2 Server hosting the
database that the new SNMP collector functionality uses must reside on the same
box as the NetView server. In other words, you cannot use a DB2 Server/Client
arrangement with the new SNMP data collector (its database must be local
to NetView).
You do not
want to install the DB2 product. If you are not forwarding data to Tivoli Data
Warehouse, then you do not need the DB2 product to use the SNMPv1 MIB
Collector. <--- snmpCollect only needs a DB2 database
if you want to be able to use the NetView "ANM" ETL1 to move SNMP
performance data into the TDW
The SNMPv1
MIB Collector (snmpCollect) can forward data to Tivoli Data Warehouse. <---
would need a DB2 based database in this case. Would need to use snmpCollect and
not the new SNMP data collector if you wanted to forward data into the TDW.
Does
that help ?
