README for demo_module_8
********************************************************************

This code example creates an agentX subagent that calls a module that returns 
load averages.  See the System Management Agent Developer's Guide for
more information about creating a subagent.


How to Build the demo_module_8 Code Example
===========================================

The demo_module_8 code example includes the following files, by default located
in the directory /usr/demo/sma_snmp/demo_module_8.

Files:

o Makefile - Compiles the subagent and module source code
o demo_module_8.c - Source code for agentX subagent
o me1LoadGroup.c - Source code for module that returns load averages
o me1LoadGroup.h - Header file for module
o getme1LoadGroup - Script that executes snmpget requests on the OIDs defined 
		    in the module
o SDK-DEMO1-MIB.txt - MIB file


To set up your build environment for the demo:

1. Copy the demo code to a directory for which you have write permission.
   For example:
   % cp -R /usr/demo/sma_snmp/demo_module_8  /home/username/demo


2. Create a lib directory that you can use to store shared object libraries 
   that you generate from demo code examples, if you have not already done so. 
   For example:
   % mkdir /home/username/demo/lib

    
3. Create a mibs directory that you can use to store MIB files for the demo
   code examples, if you have not already done so. 
   For example:
   % mkdir /home/username/demo/mibs


4. Set the CC environment variable to the location of the C compiler to be 
   used.
   For example, if you are using Sun ONE Studio:
   % setenv CC /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc


5. Set your PATH environment variable to include the appropriate paths, so that
   needed binaries can be found during the compilation process. 
   For example, in the csh: 
    
   % setenv PATH .:/usr/bin:$PATH
      
    


To build the example:

1. Change to the directory where you copied the demo module files. 
   For example:

   % cd /home/username/demo/demo_module_8
   

2. Use the make command to generate object files.
  
   If you are running the 64-bit SPARC Solaris kernel, type:
   % /usr/ccs/bin/make
   
   If you are running the 32-bit SPARC Solaris kernel, type:
   % /usr/ccs/bin/make ARCH=32
   
   If you are running the Solaris x86 kernel, type:
   % /usr/ccs/bin/make ARCH=32
   

3. Copy the module shared library object to the lib directory you created. 
   For example:

   % cp me1LoadGroup.so /home/username/demo/lib

   
4. This example uses the SDK-DEMO1-MIB.txt file from demo_module_1.  If you 
   have not already done so, copy this file to the mibs directory you created 
   for the demos.
   For example:
  
   % cp SDK-DEMO1-MIB.txt /home/username/demo/mibs
   
   
5. As root, edit the /etc/sma/snmp/snmpd.conf file by adding the following 
   line to enable AgentX master agent support. This causes agentX to be 
   started when the SMA agent starts. Make sure that there are no dlmod 
   statements for the module:

   master agentx


6. As root, start the SMA snmp agent. If the agent is already running, stop 
   and restart it.
   For example:
   
    # /etc/init.d/init.sma stop
    # /usr/sbin/snmpd -Dagentx
    
    The optional -Dagentx argument sends debugging statements from agentX to 
    the /var/log/snmpd.log file. You can also use the -L and -f options to 
    send debugging statements to the screen instead.


7. As root, set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. 
   For example, if you are using the C shell:
    
   In the 64-bit Solaris kernel:
   # LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/username/demo/lib:/usr/lib/sparcv9:/usr/openwin/lib
   # export LD_LIBRARY_PATH  
    
   In the 32-bit or x86 Solaris kernel:
   # LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/username/demo/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/openwin/lib
   # export LD_LIBRARY_PATH  
  
  
8. As root, change to the directory where the demo_module_8 subagent is 
   located and start the subagent in the background. For example:

   # cd /home/username/demo/demo_module_8
   # ./demo_module_8 &

   The demon listens for agentX requests from the SMA agent.
   


Testing the Example Subagent 
============================
  
1. Set your MIBS and MIBDIRS environment variables to
   include the appropriate paths.  
   For example, in the csh: 
    
   % setenv MIBDIRS .:/home/username/demo/mibs:/etc/sma/snmp/mibs
   % setenv MIBS +SDK-DEMO1-MIB
   
   Note that step 1 is not required, but it enables snmpget to access the MIB
   to provide variable names instead of OIDs in its output in Step 2.
   
   
2. Run the getme1LoadGroup script to execute snmpget commands against 
   the OIDs defined in the module:

   % getme1LoadGroup
  
   SDK-DEMO1-MIB::me1SystemLoadAvg1min.0 = STRING: 3.906250e-02 Jobs
   SDK-DEMO1-MIB::me1SystemLoadAvg5min.0 = STRING: 2.734375e-02 Jobs
   SDK-DEMO1-MIB::me1SystemLoadAvg15min.0 = STRING: 3.906250e-02 Jobs


3. View the /var/log/snmpd.log file. Near the beginning of the log file, 
   you should see output similar to the following:
    
    agentx/subagent: init_subagent sess 0012bfd8
    Turning on AgentX master support.
    agentx/master: initializing...
    agentx/master: initializing...   DONE
