HP SIM & APC UPS PowerNet 3.6.1 MIB

[MC1903]

I am trying to compile the latest APC PowerNet MIB (3.6.1) into HP SIM.

I can create the .CFG file (MCOMPILE powernet361.mib) - this completes OK.

The error occurs when I try to register the MIB (MXMIB -a powernet361.cfg). The full error text is as follows:


Error: File 'powernet361.cfg' Error reading MIB: TRAP-TYPE: Invalid severity Line: 16068

AN ERROR OCCURED EXECUTING THE COMMAND

I do not fully understand the structure of MIBs and have no idea what I am looking for.

Any MIB Guru's out there?

I have attached the file if it helps.

The name of the attachment seems to have been changed as part of the ITRC upload.

The file name I am using is powernet361.cfg

Martin,

Have you since had any problems with newer MIB files from APC? I've been using HP SIM for some time, but I just now tried to put the latest PowerNet MIB on (3.8.1), and got the same error, except for line number.

Thanks,

Dennis,

I had problems with 3.8.0, but managed to fix them.

I have not tried 3.8.1 yet... I may look at this over the weekend.

I have attached my APC powernet 3.8.0 .mib & .cfg for you (they are in the .zip file)

Hope it helps in some way.

Martin,

The 3.8.0 mib and cfg loaded just fine for me - Thanks.

I do, however, wonder how you got the APC devices to show-up in SIM. I setup InfrastruXure Manager to send SNMP traps to the SIM box, but I'm not seeing anything within SIM. And I have in fact had several events (ie 'On Battery Backup'). Did you encounter any related issues?

Thanks,

Dennis
