Need to know what are the snmp TRAPS that zSeries will send from HCM

In order to monitor the zSeries machines my customer would like to receive the SNMP TRAP events send by the HMC in their monitoring tool and define an action for each one of them. We have not been able to locate the list of TRAP IDs and their meaning, so my customer is requesting IBM to document them.

    Information about the SNMP traps sent by the HMC can be found in a couple of places. The attached MIB file can be used with some tools to understand the different traps that are defined with in it. In addition, The "HwmcaWaitEvent" section of the SB10-7171-01 publication has more descriptive information about these traps and the different variable bindings contained within each of them. This publication is available on Resource Link at https://www-304.ibm.com/servers/resourcelink/lib03010.nsf/pagesByDocid/7EF3DF1D93A374C585258194006670E5?OpenDocument.
