HPSIM 4.01, getting rid of backup exec traps

Christopher Choate — Wed, 15 Sep 2004 06:57:11 GMT

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the annoying traps we continue to get for backup exec. We disabled the MIB itself from within SIM, we also completely removed the MIB itself from the SIM server, but yet the alerts continue to come in. Here is the information on one of the traps. We get about 100 of these a day. The mib it is referring to is not even on the server it is coming from or the SIM server.

Trap Details
Variable Description Value
Description of the event. Backup Exec: Loader Device Requires Attention
Server on which this product is running. CAEGWSS2KFP01
The name of the job. Daily Full Backup
Additional information about the event, if available. Please remove the media from the drive.

Mib Information
The associated MIB File Name for this trap is bkupexec.mib and the MIB identifier Backup-Exec-MIB

We are also having the same problem, so would be interested in the response.

I also was able to fix the bkupexec.mib problem on our end.

I had to go to command line and run:
mxmib â d bkupexec.mib

I ran mxmib â l, which lists all the mibâ s for SIM but that bkupexec.mib was not showing up. It was almost as if it was hidden. After I ran the mxmib â d it successfully removed it, and all those alerts cleared and stopped showing up for backup exec crap.

Hope this clears your issues as well, it

Sorry it must have not liked the syntex of what I typed.

Go to a command prompt on the SIM server. You will need to run mxmib -d bkupexec.mib to delete it. If you run mxmib -l it will give you a list of all the mib's in the database. Problem is the bkupexec.mib didn't show up so I thought I would try to run the delete mib command just for the heck of it and it worked.

at command prompt type this:
c:\mxmib -d bkupexec.mib
