Although providing a write community for 
CA SystemEDGE
 package wrappers is not required, consider the following information:
  • The 
    CA SystemEDGE
    PMM can discover the agent even if it is configured with only the SNMP read community and no write community. However, point configuration changes to the agent are only possible if it is configured with the SNMP write community.
  • Full vCenter and Remote Monitoring functionality is only supported if the 
    CA SystemEDGE
    agent is configured with the write community. AIM configuration and administration from the 
    Server Automation
     UI is only possible if the agent is configured with the SNMP write community.
  • CA SystemEDGE
     agent without the write community can be configured after installation using Policy Configuration from the 
    Server Automation
     UI. Policy Configuration also lets you configure the agent to use SNMP v3, which is more secure than SNMP v1 and v2.
