Starting the SNMP trap-integration components

In a
deployment, you install the following products as services so that the host system automatically starts them as processes that run in the background each time that the system boots:
  • VMware Smart Assurance
    Broker
  • IP Availability Manager
  • Global Manager
  • Global Console
  • Adapter Platform
  • SNMP Trap Adapter
    (trap exploder and trap receiver)
    The services for these products are described in detail in the
    .
    You cannot install the
    SNMP Trap Adapter
    (trap exploder) as a service, but you can use the sm_service command to register this adapter as a service after the installation. This section describes how to create and start a service for the
    SNMP Trap Adapter
    that is configured as a trap exploder.
    Typically, in any
    VMware Smart Assurance
    deployment, the order in which the applications are started is not important, except that the Broker must be started first.
