Manage Liebert UPS

hansis1 — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 11:48:09 GMT

Hello!

I want to manage a Liebert-UPS with HP-SIM.
I wanted to reate a STM rule for the UPS. But I get following error:
Object value - retreiving from system: The request timed out, or the community string is incorrect, or there is no agent for this object identifier.

What can I do, that I get Informations from UPS via SNMP?

thx

Configure the Liebert UPS snmp correctly. If you cannot access it from the HPSIM Server, either snmp is not configured correctly or it doesn't support it.
You can try just using the Options -> Manage System Types and going for new. Just enter the IP address or name of the device and specify the community name you think is correct. You should get a reply.

Then I got a Reply:

I hope this is correct?

OK then you've got snmp connectivity from the CMS to the Liebert.

What you can do is actually create a new system type and add that. Running Identification should identify it in HPSIM.

You may also want to look at snmp on the liebert to see if it has a trap destination option. You'd then point that at the HPSIM Server.
Finally you'd want to see if there are any Liebert MIBs you can import (google mcompile & mxmib) into HPSIM which will then decode any traps sent from the Liebert to HPSIM.
