Hi,
why do you want to change your community string?
Check whether you have the following line in /etc/snmpdv3.conf -

smux 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.3.1.2.1.5 clsmuxpd_password # HACMP/ES for AIX clsmuxpd

And, check whether you have

/usr/es/sbin/cluster/clsmuxpd

up and running? (look at ps -ef)

If yes, restart the HACMP/snmp/clinfo environment
stopsrc -s clinfoES
stopsrc -s clsmuxpdES
stopsrc -s snmpd

startsrc -s snmpd
startsrc -s clsmuxpdES
startsrc -s clinfoES

and try again!
If still no success, please come back and give a closer description of your problems.

Hi,
so change in snmpdv3.conf
COMMUNITY public public noAuthNoPriv 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 -
'public' public' to whatever you want (same string for both!)
Note that your snmp managers, e.g. tivoli (if any) should know the new name.
Please leave the clsmuxpd password unchanged, until everything else works.
We'll try to change it later.
