snmp test on Netware looses connectivity after reboot

Hi,
I defined some snmp tests to monitor disk space on netware volumes using oid's like 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.28.2.14.1.5.2 , a condition and a value. This works great, until the Novell server is rebooted. Then the state of the test results as unknown. I found no other possibility to get the test working again, as by probing the same oid with the mibbrowser (doing this from the same server where HM is running). I also needed to do this the very first time after defining my netware snmp tests.
How can I solve this behavior?
(HM 5.66 in GUI, MB 1.02 on W2K3 system, NW is NW51sp7)

Strange. Mib Browser and HostMonitor uses the same library to perform SNMP test.
What OID do you request using Mib Browser? It looks like Novell SNMP agent does not initializes until you request some counter...

This is one of those tests.
; ------- Test #01 -------
Method = SNMP
;--- Common properties ---
;DestFolder = Root\Disk Capacity\Novell\
Title = EJVB03 sys: 1 Check Free Diskspace
ScheduleMode= Regular
Alerts = NoAction
ReverseAlert= No
UnknownIsBad= No
UseCommonLog= No
PrivLogMode = Default
CommLogMode = Full
;--- Test specific properties ---
Agent = EJVB03
Community = public
Timeout = 2000
Retries = 1
OID = 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.28.2.14.1.4.1
Condition = LessThan
Value = 3000000

Any idea? Thanks for your help!

Looks like the problem is outside of HostMonitor.
Could you read following articles?
