hp ux and solarwinds... need MIB??

[Frank Lomabrdo]

Hello, I am trying to get solarwinds to monitor my hp9000 rp5405 server running hpux 11.11 ... I downloaded net snmp 5.0.9 and installed it like I was told by solarwinds.. I heard about these MIBs? what are they? and do I need a special one for solarwinds??

I assume solarwinds in an network management tool.

Whether you need a MIB (Management Information Block) file or not depends on the software and the device. Most devices implement a SNMP standard system MIB and a perhaps a common SNMP MIB for that device class, and often that's you need. Some devices have additional MIBS they support that are product (and/or company specific) although your application may have those already included.

The Net SNMP utils you mention have many MIB files included.
