Error on MIB import

Alexey Gromov — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 12:45:58 GMT

Trying to get a decent support of my Symmetra UPS-es in HP SIM 6.2 by importing powernet401.mib. Getting error:

C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager\mibs>"C:\Program Files\HP\Systems In
sight Manager\lbin\mcompile.exe" powernet401.mib

Is this normal?
I use the powernet401.mib downloaded from apc.com.

Answering self.
The APC's .mib file contains SEVERITY keyword values that are not compatible with HP SIM. Namely SEVERE and WARNING. They must be replaced with CRITICAL or MAJOR or MINOR to successfully integrate this .mib into HP SIM.

In powernet401.cfg I replaced SEVERE with CRITICAL. Then imported the edited file successfully:

C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager\mibs>"C:\Program Files\HP\Systems In
sight Manager\bin\mxmib.exe" -a powernet401.cfg
