Testing UM-Agent
After installation, it is important to check that UM-Agent communicates with the UPS and responds to SNMP requests.
Basic test:
You have installed UM-Console + on the Windows station connected to the Novell Server
configure UM-Console +
check on UM Console + that the link between the icons representing the computer and the UPS is green. This test shows that UM-Agent is operating correctly.
If the link remains red or gray, check the
UPS connection
. If this is not sufficient, perform the
advanced tests
Advanced tests:
-
for the test purposes, you can
start UM-Agent in verbose mode
and analyze the
messages obtained.
-
to
test the IP communication
from another computer, enter:
ping < UM-Agent IP address>.
-
to
test the SNMP communication
from a computer where you have installed UM-Client, go to the directory where UM-Client is installed and enter:
load sys:\upsman\umclient\snmpm
[</c:Community name>] get < UM-Agent IP Address > 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0
and you will obtain the references of the SNMP agent. Otherwise, check that TCP/IP and the SNMP agent have been activated
load sys:\upsman\umclient\snmpm
[</c:Community name>] get < UM-Agent IP address> 1.3.6.1.4.1.705.1.1.1.0
and you will obtain the UPS family name (« Pulsar »
for example) . Otherwise, check UPS/agent communication.
