If you use Network Management System (NMS) applications, you can configure Veritas System Recovery to send SNMP traps for different priority and notification types.
By default, Veritas System Recovery is not enabled to send SNMP traps to NMS managers. You can configure Veritas System Recovery to send SNMP traps for different priority and notification types.
To configure Veritas System Recovery to send SNMP traps
  1. On the Tasks menu, click Options.
  2. Under Notifications, click SNMP Trap.
  3. Click the Select the priority and type of messages list and select the priority level at which traps should be generated.
    All messages Send all messages, regardless of priority levels.
    Medium and high priority messages Send only medium and high priority messages.
    High priority messages only Send only high priority messages.
    No messages Do not send any messages, regardless of priority levels.

The Veritas System Recovery Management Information Base (MIB) is an enterprise MIB. It contains the Veritas System Recovery SNMP trap definitions. All Network Management System (NMS) applications have options to load an MIB. You can use any of these options to load the Veritas System Recovery MIB. If you do not load the MIB, the NMS application can still receive, and display the traps. However, the traps are not displayed in informative text. The MIB file, named ssr_mib.mib, is located in the Support folder on the Veritas System Recovery product DVD.
