These day, I explore about SNMP. After wikipedia-ing in here, I try to install one of the recomended software called OpenNMS. After tried the live demo, it looks cool. So I decided to download it in here.

I followed all the installation step guide from here. I also need to download and install the pre requisites package such as rrdtool, and the postgresql. Fortunately, blastwave.org has great tools called pkg-get, yeap, sounds familiar with you Debian users ? I also thought that only Nexenta OS has this such-thing tools, but now, all solaris distro can use this tools I guess, well, at least I tried that one and it works for Solaris in both Sparc and Intel machine.

Ok, back to the tools. If we followed the step exactly, and goes to this step : install -dis, I got an error said that fail to load the iplike.so because libgcc_so.1 not found. That's some problem I usually got on linux box. If this is linux box, I just have to locate it, insert the path to /etc/ld.so.conf, and run the /sbin/ldconfig as root. But this is solaris box, cant do that, so, after googling, I found the crle command. I tried that to point the location for shared object files. Still no works. Howcome ? Dont ask me, it just doesnt work:p, So...again, googling, and found same problem in here. So the problem will be solved by just copying the .so files to /usr/lib ? And, it works. This is weird, I alredy put the /usr/lib within the crle command like this :

-bash-3.00# crle -l /usr/local/lib:/usr/sfw/lib:/lib:/usr/lib/:/opt/opennms/lib:/usr/sfw/lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/3.4.3/

Ah, no idea, so I run the install -dis again, and this time it works.....

Next, playing around with OpenNMS and try to setup the weblogic snmp agent to send trap message to the OpenNMS poller. We'll see....
