If the Smartarray controller can connect to the SNMP via AgentX, then it's possible. TCP/IP Services provided a lot of SNMP support through AgentX. The one thing that MultiNet does NOT provide is an equivalent to SYS$LIBRARY:TCPIP$ESNMP_SHR.EXE, which is the method that TCP/IP Services (the prior IP stack), provided for applications to connect to AgentX.

I have not seen any indication of any SNMP support on the SmartArray controllers themselves or the related OpenVMS O/S handshaking

I presume this means that someone who have to create a privileged agent from scratch to interrogate and present status detail retrieved from the SmartArray controller onto SNMP requests.
