APC UPS MIB

[Ayman Altounji]

I tried to load the APC powernet.mib into CIM7SP1. It comes back with an error about invalid trap severity type. After looking at the APC CD, I found a .bat file which calls 'addtrap' which seems to register the APC specific trap severities. But my sytem doesn't have addtrap and I'm not sure how to get CIM7 to know about the APC traps. What can I do?

I have the same problem here. But i am using Cim7SP2 already tried different version of the powernet.mib. But nothing works.

I`ve found this mib on http://www.admins-tipps.net/management/mrtg.htm#MIB-Ressourcen:

And it seems to work.

Hello -

I have this mib compiled successfully. Unzip the attached file.

but please do remove the old powernet.mib file from the Insight Manager 7 server. you have to go to the SNMP directory to phically delete it. don't just remove it from the web interface. The file will be under \Program Files\HP\Insight Manager 7 SP2\compaq\protocol\snmp. remove it.

upload the mib that I sent you, compile it.

by the way you will also need to add a new device type to see the APC unit as such.

Let me know if you need help with how to do it.

You may want to look at going to IM 7 SP2.1, I loaded the HP supplied Powernet MIB without any problems.

Here is another string on that, which provides the reason behind the errors, and a modified MIB for the solution:

Since HP Insight Manager is on its way out, you may want to consider upgrading to HP Systems Insight Manager v4.x., which also appears to support v2 SNMP. Some of the newer APC devices support that version of SNMP as well.
