Trying to setup VMAX with SNMP

you will need to edit the storeventd settings in daemon_option file. You can find more information in this doc:

To configure storevntd to send trap, user should modify the daemon_option file, The file can be found in the following directory:

In UNIX:

/var/symapi/config

In Windows:

C:\Program Files\EMC\SYMAPI\config:

Enable SNMP: Events are mapped into SNMP traps and sent to a specified host running an SNMP trap client.

Define Symmetrix array ID and event category which need to be monitored:

The event daemon can be configured to log entire categories of events or to log only events with specific event codes. In this example “status,disk,device;” are defined categories. To see all of the supported event categories, the following command can be run:

Define the SNMP trap destination, The format of the entry is IP_address,port,filter,state, with no spaces. Filter represents the trap sending filtering levels as defined in the fcmgmt MIB and state represents the startup row state in the trap_client_registration table in the fcmgmt MIB. In this example, filtering is set to 10 meaning that all messages will be logged and the startup row state is active

For the more symevntd configuration details, please refer “Monitoring EMC Symmetrix Using the Solutions Enabler Event Daemon Technical Notes” on EMC online Support.

Hope this helps.

 just enabling an SNMP in Notifications in unisphere will trigger an snmp trap.
