Re: Unable to get information from HOST-RESOURCES-MIB

I shut down both Sun's agent
        /etc/rc3.d/S76snmpdx stop
        /etc/rc3.d/S77dmi stop

Then ran the Net-SNMP agent by executing 
        cd /usr/local/sbin
        ./snmpd -d

a)  Can you query it at all (e.g. for the system group)
        Yes, it returns all the system data without any error
b)  Can you query it for the HostRes information ?
        No, it gave me the "no such variable in this MIB error.  I tried 
the following:
                snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost hrSystem              - 
returns nothing at all, not even error
                snmpget -v 1 -c public localhost hrSystemDate.0 - returns 
the "no such variable name in this MIB.  Failed Object: 
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSystemDate.0

The interesting thing is that four of my other Solaris 8/10 systems 
(net-snmp v5.1.1 with the Sun' agents) exhibit the exact same behavior. Is 
there some settings that I should turn on/off to allow access to 
HOST-RESOURCE-MIB for Solaris OS?  Thank you for your patience and help.

Well the first thing to try is a simpler configuration, with *just*
the Net-SNMP agent.  Shut down Sun's agent completely, and fire up
ours as a single standalone agent.

   a)  Can you query it at all (e.g. for the system group) ?
   b)  Can you query it for the HostRes information ?

I'd concentrate on getting that working, before you start trying
anything more complicated like hooking two different agents together.
