MIB Information In This Guide
This guide provides formatted information of the MIB files written for the
Server Administrator services that support the SNMP protocol.
For each variable defined in the MIBs, the following fields are specified:
Vari ab l e n am e
• OID or unique identifying number
•Description
• Data type of the variable (for example: integer, string, octet string)
• Whether the variable is accessible, not accessible, read-only, or read-write
• Index or indexes, if applicable
For each MIB group that has unique variable definitions, tables are included
in the last section of the section to explain the meaning of the terms.
This section provides general information about the following MIBs
documented in this guide:
• Server Administration Instrumentation MIB
• Server Administrator Storage Management MIB
Server Administration Instrumentation MIB
The Server Administrator Instrumentation MIB (filename 10892.mib)
provides instrumentation data that allows you to monitor the health of a
system with SNMP management applications. It provides:
• Information about the status’ of temperatures, power supplies, voltages,
currents, fans, and memory at key points in the system
• Rapid access to detailed fault and performance information gathered by
industry standard systems management agents
• Version information for Basic Input/Output System (BIOS), firmware, and
operating system
• A detailed account of every Cost Of Ownership (COO) detail about your
system
6 Introduction
In addition, traps are sent to report a change in status of the health of critical
components.
The Server Administrator Instrumentation MIB structures its MIB objects
into groups of scalar objects or MIB tables that provide related information.
Ta b l e 1 - 1 describes Server Administrator Instrumentation MIB groups
updated for OpenManage 6.3 and lists the MIB group number assigned to the
MIB group. The Server Administrator Instrumentation MIB groups are
identified by the SNMP OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.<MIB group number>,
where <MIB group number> is the MIB group number assigned to the MIB
group. See the relevant section for more information about the MIB objects
defined in a MIB group.
