HPSIM & SNMP

Henri Liiva — Tue, 08 May 2007 03:16:43 GMT

Hello everybody!
I'm new in HP ProLiant management and so i hope any of You could give me a hand about this. The OS is Debian Sarge and server is ProLiant DL385. I would like to get information about hardware condition through SNMP by using HPSIM MIB's. Particually i'm intrested of harddisks. I understand that CMASTOR should be the keyword for that. But where could i find MIB's for that. I mean the MIB tree's where is already explained with what MIB i can get information about temperature and with what MIB i can get condition about harddisk etc.
Thank You for all who care to help me.
Best regards,
Henri Liiva.
ps! My english is not wery good either so if something is undertoodable then let me know ;)

You might want to look at wbem as an another way of getting the data.

It will also depend on where you're hoping to see the collected data.
You could try the suggestion above and try installing the HP Management agents from one of the examples listed above.

Actually there is no other option than SNMP, RRD and HPASM. I allready have some progress with this stuff. I've managed to initiate HPASM subagents like CMASTOR. But i've got problem that where could i get the MIB's for HP hardware and how can i import then.

Import the HP MIBS to where?
HPSIM has the MIBs loaded. The agents don't use the MIBs as they just send the SNMP trap. It's the receiving end that needs the MIB to decode the trap.

All of the MIBs loaded into HPSIM are located in a MIBs directory.

Howdy!
Now I have another problem.
HPASM SCSI agent won't start. It says " SCSI agent (cmascsid) does not find any supported SCSI controller, exits."
Does anybody know's answer to that?

Dunno about the Linux variants but the Windows agents rely on various HP Management Drivers, which is why you tend to install the entire PSP.
Just another thought, this DL385 does have SCSI Disks? It's not a SAS one?
