• SNMP MIB Definition
A Management Information Base (MIB) is a collection of information that
is organized hierarchically.MIBs are accessed using a network-
management protocol such as SNMP. They are comprised of managed
objects and are identified by object identifiers.If a vendor(RAID controller)
wishes to include additional device information that is not specified in a
standard MIB, then that is usually done through MIB extensions.
SNMP MIB Installation (Ex. iReasoning MIB Browser)
1. Installing the SNMP MIB Manager software on the client server.
2. Importing a copy of the MIB file in a directory which is accessible to the
management application.
(MIBs Sotre Location:\iReasoning\mibbrowser\mibs )
3. Compiling the MIB description file with the management application.
4. Set Agent's Charset to IS0-8859-1 (Choose Tools > Options > General).
SNMP MIB Operation (Ex. iReasoning MIB Browser)
5. Set RAID controller IP address of SNMP managment application.
6. Choose ACS-RAID-MIB on MIB tree,and then expand the tree to choose
xxxx Table component, execute Ctrl+T to open Table View.
Note
In a redundant-controller system, both controllers send out SNMP
event notification packets for one event.
Note
Before the manager application accesses the RAID controller, user
needs to integrate the MIB into the management application’s
database of events and status indicator codes. This process is known
as compiling the MIB into the application. This process is highly
vendor-specific and should be well-covered in the User’s Guide of
your SNMP application. Ensure the compilation process successfully
integrates the contents of the “ACS-RAID-MIB.MIB” file into the
traps database. Each SNMP MIB application’s have some different.For
more information refer to management application’s user manual
