SNMP with Fujitsu Server

[thomas.mueller@envers.de]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get SNMP information from a Fujitsu TX150S6-server. Appending the MIB worked. I can get the value for OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 (sysUpTime) but I cant get the values from the appended OIDs. If I click "Get value" for 1.3.6.1.4.1.16.1.1.2.1.5, the value-field stays empty!

Any ideas what I have to change?

Thnaks before,
Thomas

1.3.6.1.4.1.16.1.1.2.1.5 is multy-instance counter (row of the table)? Then you should add index of the element (index of the drive). E.g. 1.3.6.1.4.1.16.1.1.2.1.5.1
Normally SNMP Agent should return error code when you request wrong OID but some agents do not...

I tried adding .0 to .9 without success. But noticed some other things.

1. If I let the test run it responds status OK, but without any value in the reply-collumn.
2. If I change SNMP-version in the test-properties from 2c to 1, I get the message "SNMP error: no such name".

Other OIDs react the same. I tried 1.3.6.1.4.1.16.1.1.2.1.4, 1.3.6.1.4.1.16.1.1.3.1.3 and 1.3.6.1.4.1.16.1.1.2.1.2

Well, I think you should contact Fujitsu support team. Ask them what protocols (SNMP v1, v2 or v3) are supported and what OIDs are supported by this SNMP agent.

BTW If you don't know what exactly items (counters, indexes) supported by some SNMP Agent, you may use MIB Browser "Get next" function (menu View -> Get counter value).
"Get next" SNMP request will retrieve nearest valid OID.
E.g. if there are no items with index 1 and 2 but there is item with index 3, you may type 1.3.6.1.4.1.16.1.1.2.1.5 in OID field and click "Get next" button. SNMP Agent should respond [1.3.6.1.4.1.16.1.1.2.1.5.3]=<some value>

Great hint, Alex! Thank you!

I didnt know the function of "Get next"-button. With this function I found the correct OIDs.
