SNMP returns empty SysDescr

Our network management system requires us to correctly setup SNMP so that the device can be correctly identified and the relevant support team notified.

On one node of our two node HACMP cluster, SNMP seems to return blanks for everything I query included SysDescr which should something like..
IBM PowerPC CHRP Computer.Machine....
On the other node, the SysDescr returns correctly together with all the other SysInfo mib variables.

Already tried restarting the snmpd.
I've checked and both snmpdv3.conf files are exactly the same, same version (AIX 5.2 ML3).. even did a "sum" of the conf file and the snmpd and it all matched up.
Not sure if it would make a difference, but both these machines were upgraded from AIX 4.3.3

Any ideas?

TIA.. :)
