register mib on sim

[luca1]

Hi at all,
I must monitoring an hardware product (not HP product) with Hp insight manager 7.
First question: It's possible use SIM for monitoring hardware different by HP?
If yes,  I think I must have the mib file. People that manage this product give me a mib file as txt file... Could I register mib file on hp sim if this file have .txt format?

thanks

Use the following commands to register the MIB (if it will register , some wont):

• mcompile
• mxnode

Then discover your 3rd party device.

Hi,

The Third party devices can be managed in HPSIM by importing/registering the MIB files. The MIB file in text format can be used.

Please find the below details :

1. copy the MIB files to the mibs folder under HP SIM Installation directory.
2. Run the command mccompile to compile the MIBs : mcompile <mibfile>
3. The above command will gnerate the cfg file which can be used to register the MIB in HP SIM
4.  Run the command mxmib to register the MIB in HP SIM : mxmib -a <mibfile.cfg>

Hope this answers your query.

Thanks,

Thanks for you reply.

A last question. Must I install any agent on machine target? In the windows hp server I install always hp agent but I think is not possibile in hardware different from hp...correct?

thanks

You need something on the target to generate the SNMP traps so that's up to the vendor

[geajith]

Similar to HP Agent, there will be a third party vendor specific agent software which enables the management of the system. Hence accordingly the rule needs to be created in HP SIM to discover the specific third party vendor hardware.

please acknowledge with Kudos! or Points.
