Disk usage through SNMP

Hans Hendriks_1 — Tue, 18 Oct 2005 05:50:32 GMT

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to gather disk usage statistics by reading the appropriate SNMP oid's. On every platform (windows, netware, linux) this works fine, except on HP-UX.
For example, when I try to read hrStorageTable, hrDiskStorageTable, hrFSTable, etc all I get is an empty resultset. On the other platforms, I get the result as expected (overview for disk usage of all configured disks).
Also, when I do an snmpwalk of one of the HP-UX systems, after a while it aborts with the following error:
Error: OID not increasing: iso.3.6.1.2.1.6.13.1.1.127.0.0.1.49815.127.0.0.1.49337
>= iso.3.6.1.2.1.6.13.1.1.127.0.0.1.1476.0.0.0.0.0

Does anyone now what could be causing this and how to resolve it?

Thanks in advance!

Which version of SNMP you are using on HP-UX ?
Try to use Net-SNMP comes with Internet express, http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPUXIEXP1111

Hi Arun,

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm not the HP-UX administrator at our site (and she's not in at the moment).
Could you tell me how I can find out which version of SNMP is installed? I already looked in SAM and swlist, but I can't find snmp in there (though I know it is installed, because I do get answers using snmpwalk, up until the above-mentioned error).

Thanks!
Using a post in the mentioned thread I was able to find the hp-ux MIB and through that the OID of the fileSystemTable.
Works like a charm!
