Firmware 3.06 and drive OIDS

winadm — Tue, 24 Sep 2024 02:03:42 GMT

Good day!

We have recently updated the firmware on a couple of our servers to 3.06 and now we get strange values of used OIDs, that we can't find in any mibs:

cpqDaCntlrBoardStatus returns 8

cpqDaPhyDrvStatus returns 10

Also very strange behavior of cpqDaPhyDrvConfigurationStatus - returns 3, that indicates "notConfigured" in old mibs, which is very strange since the drive is configured as spare drive.

Can anyone provide the fresh mib for first two OIDs and explain why the status returns 3 for spare drive?

Hi,

It would be helpful if you could mention which firmware you updated and what is the server model.

For your reference, please check these links for SNMP Alerts.

Thank You!

Greetings!

Have you tried downgrading the iLO firmware to the working revision?

Hm, no, we haven't tried to downgrade. It sounds quite strange to downgrade the firmware because we don't have full information for some SNMP oids.

Server model is HP(E) ProLiant DL360 Gen10 Plus. The firmware was 3.01, we have updated to 3.06.

Unfortunately, I didn't manage to find the answers for questions in the provided links. Looks like it is not mentioned cpqDaPhyDrvStatus OID with value 10 anywhere. Maybe we have outdated CPQIDA-MIB?

snmpwalk -v3 -l authPriv -u -a SHA -A -x AES -X server 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.3.2.5.1.1.6 iso.3.6.1.4.1.232.3.2.5.1.1.6.12.0 = INTEGER: 2 iso.3.6.1.4.1.232.3.2.5.1.1.6.12.1 = INTEGER: 2 iso.3.6.1.4.1.232.3.2.5.1.1.6.12.2 = INTEGER: 2 iso.3.6.1.4.1.232.3.2.5.1.1.6.12.3 = INTEGER: 10

and for cpqDaCntlrBoardStatus

snmpwalk -v3 -l authPriv -u -a SHA -A -x AES -X server 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.3.2.2.1.1.10 iso.3.6.1.4.1.232.3.2.2.1.1.10.12 = INTEGER: 8

Please ensure, you are using latest MIB KIT.

Great!

Mibs pack from the second link contains the fresh cpqida.mib, which contains all the new statuses. One question left - is status notConfigured forcpqDaPhyDrvConfigurationStatus on hotspare disk, which sounds not critical at all.

snmpwalk -v3 -l authPriv -u -a SHA -A -x AES -X server 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.3.2.5.1.1.58 iso.3.6.1.4.1.232.3.2.5.1.1.58.12.0 = INTEGER: 2 iso.3.6.1.4.1.232.3.2.5.1.1.58.12.1 = INTEGER: 2 iso.3.6.1.4.1.232.3.2.5.1.1.58.12.2 = INTEGER: 2 iso.3.6.1.4.1.232.3.2.5.1.1.58.12.3 = INTEGER: 3

What is the return value that you see for cpqDaPhyDrvStatus on the spare drive?

Re: Firmware 3.06 and drive OIDS

winadm — Tue, 24 Sep 2024 06:04:50 GMT

@BPSingh

Thats exactly "Hotspare" in the fresh mibs.

cpqDaPhyDrvStatus OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX INTEGER { other(1), ok(2), failed(3), predictiveFailure(4), erasing(5), eraseDone(6), eraseQueued(7), ssdWearOut(8), notAuthenticated(9), Hotspare(10) }

Starting from iLO5 version 3.04, the return value for a spare disk has been updated to Hotspare(10). This is working as per design.
