Monitoring drive status on Proliant server

mrhoegee · Post by **mrhoegee** » Wed Oct 01, 2008 6:40 am

I want to monitor drive status of my Hp proliant DL380 server but although the MIB is imported to the MIB datbase on the server, host monitor returns the SNMP error: "No such name".
Does anyone has solved this issue or just knows how to fix this?
Thanx!

What exactly OID do you use?

1.3.6.1.4.1.232.5.2.4.1.1.9

According to MIB file (http://www.oidview.com/mibs/232/CPQSCSI-MIB.html) cpqScsiPhyDrvStatus is multi-instance counter (item of the table).
This means you should add index, e.g. 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.5.2.4.1.1.9.1
(note: you should check list of valid indexes for your system)

Hi Alex, as the message is still the same I'v tried to compile the mib on the server into the DB but get this error:

C:\Temp>mibcc.exe CPQSCSI-MIB.mib
Microsoft (R) SNMP MIB Compiler Version 2.00
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation 1998. All rights reserved.
mibcc: parsing CPQSCSI-MIB.mib
mibcc: total files processed: 1
Err [mibcc.cpp:251] - Resolve() failed!

Searching the internet was not very helpful. Any idea how I get around?
Thanx again......

You may use our MIB Browser
http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mibbrowser/index.htm

Start MIB Browser, click menu View -> Get counter value, type address, community string and OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.5.2.4.1.1.9 then click Get Next button.
Server should return 1st correct counter (after 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.5.2.4.1.1.9). You may click Get Next button several times to retrieve all valid indexes
