Set SNMP Destinations in the CA DMI Agent

If installed on a remote PC, the CA DMI Agent converts DMI events into SNMP traps and can send them to multiple CA NSM event consoles.

To define SNMP trap destinations using the DMI Browser

1. Choose Start, Programs, CA, Unicenter, NSM, WorldView, DMI, DMI Browser.

   The DMI Browser appears.

   In the left pane, expand the CA DMI Agent, and expand SNMP Trap Destinations.

   The right pane displays the SNMP Trap Destinations group. It contains lines for sixteen SNMP trap destinations. The first destination is the destination you entered at installation.

2. Double-click the trap destination address under TCP/IP address.

   The DMI-Browser - Edit attribute window appears.

3. Edit the trap destination address by changing the IP address in the Value field, and click OK.

   The trap destination is updated.

4. To enable the trap destination, double-click the Disable attribute for the destination.

   The DMI-Browser - Edit attribute window appears.

5. Use the Value field drop-down list to change the value to Enable, and click OK.

   The trap destination is enabled. Repeat Steps 3-6 for each trap destination you want to change and enable.

Unicenter Management for Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM Management)

Unicenter Management for MOM (MOM Management) integrates CA NSM with Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM).

Microsoft Operations Manager delivers operations management by providing event management, proactive monitoring and alerting, reporting, and trend analysis. It helps administrators monitor and manage the events and performance of Windows 2000 or 2003 server systems. MOM is similar to CA NSM Event Management.

The integration between MOM and CA NSM provides a central location for performing management functions. You can see the status of MOM servers and managed PCs using WorldView, and you can change the status from there. You can also view open MOM alerts and CA NSM events in one location, the Event Console.

Note: CA NSM provides integration kits to both of Microsoft's management applications, Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) and System Center Operations Manager 2007 (SCOM). Although the integrations to MOM and SCOM can coexist on the same management server, each one integrates only with its Microsoft counterpart.
