MIBS for DELL

[Jose Lourival]

I have arround 80% of Proliant Server and 20% of Dell PowerEdge Server. So, how the HSIM 4.1 can recognize Dell Servers? Which mibs I need be loaded. How can I do this process?
Anyone may help me?

Dell, recognizing the superiority of HP SIM :), has authored a paper, "Integrating Dell Servers in to an Environment Managed by HP Systems Insight Manager 4.0"

Search the Dell site or use Google to find it and download it.

Hello

Your HP SIM have preloaded mibs for Dell servers. Go to Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager\mibs and check if there is a files: dell10892.cfg, dellarymgr.cfg

In the same folder use the command:
mxmib - a filename.cfg

for both files where filename is name of particular file. With this command you registered mib into HP SIM.

Hi Jose,

I must say, I'm a big Dell fan, but they weren't much help with anything to do with Nework Management (neither are HP I must say!).

As has previously been mentioned, SIM does come with (some?) Dell MIBs.

You could try http://www.mibdepot.com/index.shtml for others.

I must say, on the whole, I've found loading MIBs into SIM a really painful process. First you need to compile in the correct order and sometimes, the MIBs need editing to get them to compile.

Good luck,

Gary

Gary, I agree with you.
I tried to integrate HP Procurve Switch Mibs for a couple of days now. Since the commands don´t have too many command line args, I tried to write a batch for it, since I don´t want to compile and register a hundred mibs seperatly. Now the mibs are compiled and registered in HP-SIM, but there are no comments, etc. configured within the mibs descreption field etc. Referring to CIM7 this is a real step back, CIM7 had a useful and hassle free mib-compiler, the thing incorporated with HP-SIM su
