ucx$mgt_thresholds - WBEM interface

[Zeni B. Schleter]

My brain is hurting with this one. I have tried to build an ucx$mgt_thresholds.dat but keep getting a syntax error early on. I used a copy of a file from another host and output from MU Show /SNMP=localhost /community="elm.."/MIB

Device info is listed with somthing like enterprise.232.2.2.2.4.5 in the multinet output but in the file there is a number string like 2.23.2.1.3.232.2.2.2.4.5

The output from the cpqt that Volker posted is where I am determining that there is a problem with the file.

"enterprise" is 1.3.6.1.4.1
232 is compaq, which most of the mibs are registered under
36 is DEC (you'll see one of these in a cluster)
1.3.6.1.2.1 is transmission with .7 being CSMA/CD (ethernet)

I set some cpu utilization thresholds on my test machine and I really don't know what most of the lines are in there.

The first number on the first line appears to be some sort of threshold instance number. The sixth number in the first line appears to be the threshold value (50 for 50% utilization). The seven number appears to be 2 less than the sixth number.

The second line is the MIB object

No guess on the third line, but it is the count of the number of characters in the fourth line.

The fourth line is what set the threshold

No guess on the fifth line, but it is the count of the number of characers in the sixth line.

The sixth line is a textual description of the threshold set.

This is way late but I finally went through the steps for installing WBEM with JAVA 1.4.2 on a system that had TCPIP installed but never used. The directory [TCPIP$SNMp] did not exist and HR_MIB did not stay started. I added an output to the run command for HR_MIB and found that it was looking for TCPIP$VMS_SNMP_CONF.DAT in the Sys$sysdevice:[TCPIP$SNMP] directory. I have overlooked that piece of the setup. Once the HR_MIB was happy, the threshhold were available through the HP Insight software. Going back to the original host for which this thread was posted , I decided to rename the [TCPIP$SNMp] to something else and create a new one with just the one file in it. After stopping and restarting SNMP and the WBEM software, the threshhold were now available for manipulation.

Just posting this to close out the thread.

On Hosts that are using Multinet for TCPIP interface to HP Insights, HR_MIB will use/look for other files in the Sys$SysDevice:[TCPIP$SNMP] directory if the files exist from a previous TCPIP install. Clearing the directory of all but the one file, TCIPI$VMS_SNMP_CONF.DAT, that it needs (as documented) cleared up the problem with the threshhold feature not working with HP Insights.
