SNMP Traps when catalog backup completes. 1

[smicro]

Is there a way to send an snmp trap when the netbackup catalog completes. Veritas 7 master on aix 5.3. I looked into ops center and it does have snmp traps but I don't see anywhere that you can send it when the catalog backup finishes. Thanks.

Can you use email?

Thanks Bob, unfortunately I can't. I have it set up to e-mail our group but the ops manager here is insisting that it go to monitoring software which uses snmp traps. We have the catalog backup running to an external tape drive connected to our master server instead of running the catalog backup to our tape library because we are short on tape drives. Problem with that is someone has to manually change the tape when it finishes and the ops manager won't allow her group to change the tape unless they are getting the alerts through the monitoring software instead of e-mail. Thanks for the info though, I guess I'll keep changing out the tape myself.
