Abstract
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application-layer protocol that is used to monitor IP based devices. Also it can monitor and manage IP based devices without impacting their performance. SNMP is also used in a cloud computing environment to monitor and control virtual machines. However, currently, there is limited published research work on the deployment of SNMP for monitoring and controlling virtual machines in such type of environment. This would allow load balancing in cloud environment during peak hours leading to reduced power consumption helping in Green IT cause. This paper discusses the deployment SNMP for monitoring and controlling Type 1 hypervisor (in a cloud environment). This is followed by the customization of MIB and net-snmp with Agent X to provide more SNMP management features. The completed research work will provide a rigorous physical experimentation involving SNMP monitoring and management for Type I hypervisor Xen.
