To configure SNMP v3 adapters
Step 1
a) Download the CPAN Linux precompiled Perl 5.26.3 with FFI::Platypus package from the FTPlink.
Step 2
Perform the following steps:
a) Navigate to cd / directory.
b) unzip perl-5.26.3-With-FFI_Platypus-Linux.zip at the root (/) directory
c) chmod -R 777 /localperl to give all permissions
d) Go to $MCELL_HOME/bin directory and edit mcxa.sh for below environment variable, with installed Perl path.
-> PERL_EXE
e.g., PERL_EXE="/localperl/bin/perl"
Now you have Perl version 5.26.3 with pre-compiled FFI::Platypus and Socket6 library.
Step 3
Open the $MCELL_HOME/bin/mcxa.sh file and comment the following lines:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="……”
Step 4
After commenting on the lines and saving the mcxa.sh, set the following environment variables:
a) export PATH=$PATH:<set the Perl binary path>
b) For IPv4, dual-stack or pure IPv6 machine:
Step 5
a) After the environment variable settings are done, configure the mcxa.conf file by enabling the required adapters.
b) Configure the following step before starting the mcxa.sh script:
Linux :
Create a soft link for libcrypto.so.6 and libESNMP.so library.
Navigate to the $MCELL_HOME/bin/ folder and run the following command to create the soft link from libcrypto.so.0.9.8 to libcrypto.so.6
ln -s libcrypto.so.0.9.8 libcrypto.so.6Run the following command to create the soft link from ESNMP.so to libESNMP.so
ln -s ESNMP.so libESNMP.so
Then start mcxa.sh
If the Event adapter is still not able to process incoming traps then contact BMC Customer Support.
