Querying SNMP for Performance Data on HP-UX 11.11

[Jonathan Hunt]

Hi
Firstly I'm not an HP-UX sysadmin.
I would like to query via SNMP various values, eg processor utilisation, free disk space in order to aid with capacity planning.
I have tried to find an HP-UX 11.11 MIB that I can download and plug into my Windows based MIB browser to help me work out which OIDs I need to query.
Can anyone tell me where I can download the MIB itself.
I can work out the values by consulting web pages etc, but it would be MUCH more convenient for me to use the MIB file in my MIB browser.
Many thanks in advance
regards
Jon

HP-UX's snmp agents support the standard RFC1213 MIB called "MIB II". Most MIB browsers are equipped with that MIB by default.

There is also a "hp-unix" MIB, which contains at least some performance data. If you have OpenView software installed, the MIB file should be available at
/var/opt/OV/share/snmp_mibs/Vendor/Hewlett-Packard/hp-unix.

It appears that www.mibdepot.com has the hp-unix MIB available. Go to "MIBs", select HP as the vendor and find "hp-unix" from the *long* list of HP MIBs. When you select "text" as the viewing mode, you can get a single MIB fairly easily.

The site seems to request donations, and I'd recommend donating if you feel their service is good. (By donating, you can get access to the site's download area, where you can download MIBs wholesale by vendor.)

Jonanthan,

The SNMP master agent is already capable of giving those metrics

Did you try running snmpwalk ? I was able to get the values with the default SNMP/MIB agent.

Sndar.

many thanks for your helpful advice.
I went to mibdepot found the mib and used the display as text option, which I hadn't previously seen.
simply pasting this into notepad, saving as hpux.mib and importing into my mib browser worked a treat.
thankyou!
