To install the SNMP on Windows 2000/XP:
You might need to install the CD for your operating system, so have the recovery CD available.
1. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel.
2. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
3. Click Add/Remove Windows Components.
4. Click Management and Monitoring Tools and click Details.
The Management and Monitoring Tools window appears.
5. Select Simple Network Management Protocol check box and click OK.
6. Click Next to initiate the installation.
7. After the installation completes and from the Control Panel, double-click on Administrative Tools.
8. Double-click on Computer Management.
9. In the navigation tree on the left, expand Services and Applications, then click on Services.
10. In the Services contextual frame, scroll down to SNMP Service, then double-click SNMP Service.
11. In the General tab, select Automatic for Startup Type.
12. In the Security tab, do one of the following:
Leave the default community name public.
To improve security, choose your own name. Click on Add... for accepted community names, leave Community Rights as Read-Only, pick a secure Community Name, and click on OK. Remove the public entry. Modify the default Discovery properties configuration file to match this value.
13. In the Security tab, choose which IP addresses can access the SNMP service. You must choose at least the IP address of the Master Server that runs Hitachi Storage Viewer.
14. In the Agent tab, specify the values for all fields, and select the Internet check box to make all SNMP values available.
