    3. (SLES 10 only) Register the agentx socket: 
      agentxsocket /var/agentx/master
  3. Copy aus.mib from /usr/StorMan to /usr/share/snmp/mibs/: 
    #cp /usr/StorMan/aus.mib /usr/share/snmp/mibs
  4. Restart the SNMP agent: 
    #service snmpd restart
  5. Start aus-snmpd from /usr/StorMan: 
    #./aus-snmpd
