Info IBM Severaid with snmp

teeraerts · Post by **teeraerts** » Thu Mar 18, 2010 5:23 am

Hi,

I'm trying to monitor an IBM Raid controller with hostmonitor and snmp from a remote server.
I've already found a mib file with all of the iod.

http://www.oidview.com/mibs/2/IBM-SERVERAID-MIB.html

Now this doesn't seem to work. I try a SNMP-get, but i always get a message that there's isn't such a name.

I've been searching and searching but haven't found anything useful.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

What exactly OID do you use for the test? SNMP protocol version?

1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.167.2.1.2.1.1.3 = ibmServeRaidModel?
This is item of the table, this means you have to add index of this item.

If you don't know what indexes are present in your table, you may use MIB Browser Get Next function

What exactly ID you are using now?

I wanna monitor several things such as ibmServeRaidModel (1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.167.2.1.2.1.1.3), ibmServeRaidBiosVersion (1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.167.2.1.2.1.1.5) and some other things.

I've downloaded an IBM mib file cause apparently those oid aren't standard included. Yet after importing that mib file using mibbrowser i still can't use those oid, still get the error "No Such Name"

I already told you - you are using wrong OID.
This is item of the table, this means you have to add index of this item.

The following article may help you to understand OID counters a little better

thx for the article.

when I use the Get Next Function, it just skips everything from ibm

Looks like SNMP agent does not support such counters.
May be some options of this agent are disabled, may be you have installed wrong version of the agent... sorry, we cannot tell you for sure. Please contact developers of this agent (IBM?)
