Applying SNMP settings on servers

Procedure

To configure SNMP on the servers, follow any one of the following substeps:
- To apply SNMP settings on all DL or EL8000 servers, run the following command:
```
nps deploy -s hw_prep -l debug -sl all -a snmp
```
- To apply SNMP settings on a single DL or EL8000 server or list of DL or EL8000 servers, run the following command:
  
  nps deploy -s hw_prep -l debug -sl <Server iLO IP (or) Server iLO IP1, server iLO IP2,…> -a snmp
This command creates SNMP users and configures the alert destination in the server based on the input provided under the platform management section in the input JSON. This command is not applicable for iLO 4 servers (EL4000 servers).
To verify the status of the SNMP configuration through hardware preparation service, run the following command:
```
nps show --service hw_prep
```
Wait until the status is displayed as COMPLETED or SUCCESS for all the hardware configuration operations. If the status is displayed as FAILED for any of the operations, analyze the <topology_name>_<server_IP>_redfish_snmp_<date>.log file in the /var/nps/logs/<topology_name> directory. Correct the errors and run the NIC configuration again.
NOTE:
- The status is displayed as NOT APPLICABLE for the ilo_naming operation, if the hostname provided in the Input JSON file is "NA" or blank.
- The status is displayed as NOT APPLICABLE for the create_user operation, if the label_password provided in the input JSON file is "NA" or blank.
- To configure SNMP on servers that are not available in the NPS toolkit VM, see SNMP configuration.
