Introduction
This reference guide provides information about the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) Management Information Base (MIB) which
is applicable for Dell OpenManage Version 6.4.
NOTE: This guide contains information that may also be applicable to earlier
OpenManage supported platforms.
This introduction is divided into two sections. The first section,
"Introduction to the SNMP Reference Guide" on page 17, explains the SNMP
Reference Guide design. All essential Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) terms are defined in this section. Some of the vocabulary may seem
complex and unfamiliar to system administrators who are using SNMP for the
first time. SNMP experts can skim this section, and beginners can read the
section more carefully.
The second section, "Introduction to the Server Administrator
SNMP Subagent" on page 33, is a more technical introduction to the
management information base (MIB) that underlies Server Administrator
services.
Audience
This guide is intended for system administrators, network administrators, and
anyone who wants to write SNMP MIB applications to monitor systems.
What’s New in This Release

Server Administrator 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
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.
Table 1-2 describes each Server Administrator Instrumentation MIB group
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.

SNMP Basic Terminology
It is important to have a good understanding of the key technical terms used
in this guide. This guide provides definitions for all essential terms used in
describing the Server Administrator MIBs. For definitions on all essential
terms and acronyms, see the Glossary available on the Dell Support website at
support.dell.com/manuals.
SNMP Master Agent
Typically, the SNMP agent on a managed system consists of one SNMP master
agent and zero or more SNMP extension agents. This SNMP agent extendable
structure facilitates the addition of new MIB modules without having to rebuild
the entire SNMP agent and is invisible to SNMP management applications.
The SNMP master agent is responsible for receiving SNMP request protocol
messages from SNMP management applications and sending SNMP response
protocol messages. As part of processing SNMP request protocol messages,
the SNMP master agent typically communicates with one or more SNMP
extension agents. This communication does not involve standard SNMP
protocol messages. The SNMP master agent uses an extension protocol that
shields the SNMP extension agent from the standard SNMP protocol
messages. The extension protocol also provides a way for SNMP extension
agents to send SNMP event notifications (called traps in SNMPv1).
The SNMP master agent is also responsible for sending SNMP event
notification protocol messages to SNMP management applications.
On supported operating systems, the SNMP master agent is provided with
the operating system. For example, on supported Microsoft Windows
operating systems, the Windows SNMP service is the SNMP master agent.
For information on the versions of the SNMP protocol supported by the
SNMP master agent, see the operating system documentation.
Introduction 25
SNMP Extension Agent
The SNMP extension agent is responsible for registering the MIB objects that
it supports with the SNMP master agent and then processing requests from
the SNMP master agent for those MIB objects. The SNMP extension agent
also initiates event notifications to the SNMP master agent. The SNMP
extension agent does not receive or send standard SNMP protocol messages.
The SNMP extension agent communicates with the SNMP master agent using
an extension protocol defined by the SNMP master agent. The Server
Administrator SNMP subagent is an SNMP extension agent.
Managed Object
A managed object is any item in a computer system that can be singled out
for discovery, monitoring, or user intervention and correction.
NOTE: Not all managed objects described in this guide are supported by all systems.
MIB
A MIB acts as a structured road map for managed objects. As an Application
Programming Interface (API), a MIB allows systems management tools to
retrieve data maintained by an agent. The server administrator MIB is divided
into several major groups of managed objects.
Variable
A variable is a component of a managed object. A temperature probe, for
example, has a variable to describe its capabilities, its health or status,
and certain indexes that you can use to locate specific temperature probes.
One index for the probe would be the probe’s chassis number. Some systems
may have multiple chassis—one chassis for the central processing unit and
another chassis for storage. A chassis within a system can also have more than
one temperature probe. Variables for a temperature probe include its
capabilities, status, chassis index, and index.
One-Based Index
When an index is one-based, counting starts at 1. One-based indexing counts
the first instance as 1, the second index as 2, and so on.
26 Introduction
Zero-Based Index
When an index is zero-based, counting starts at 0. Zero-based indexing
counts the first instance as 0, the second index as 1, and so on.
Fields
Managed object variables contain fields. In this reference guide, managed
object variables have the following fields defined:
Name is the exact string by which the variable is known in the MIB.
MIB variables are named according to the following conventions:
• Variable names start with a lowercase letter.
• Spaces are not allowed between words in the variable name.
• Acronyms are in uppercase letters, except when an acronym is the first
word in the variable name.
• With the exception of the first letter of the variable name and acronyms,
all other words in the variable name start with capital letters.
The following variable names illustrate these conventions:
– temperatureProbeLowerCriticalThreshold
– coolingUnitIndex
– pCIDeviceSpeed
Object Identifier (OID) is the unique number assigned to an object defined
in a MIB. An OID is written as a sequence of subidentifiers in decimal
notation. Each OID in this reference guide has a prefix that identifies the
managed objects as belonging to Dell: 1.3.6.1.4.1.674. The additional
numbers identify the MIB group and subgroup as well as the table entry
number of any variables.
For example, the OID for the temperature probe managed object table is
700.20 and the variable for the location of the temperature probe
(temperatureProbeLocationName) has an OID of 700.20.1.8. The full OIDs
for these items are 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.700.20 for the
temperatureProbeTable and 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.700.20.1.8 for the
temperatureProbeLocation. For more information about the structure of
OIDs, see "SNMP Management Information Base Object Identifiers" on
page 35.
Description is a brief explanation of what a particular managed object does.
Introduction 27
Syntax defines the data type in which the values of the variable must be
expressed. Most variables in this reference guide use standard data types such
as string or boolean. All data types that are unique to server administrator
variables are defined at the end of the section in which they occur. Standard
data types are defined in "Standard Data Type Definitions" on page 755.
Access specifies whether persons with administrative privileges can read but not
modify the value of a variable (read only) or can both read and modify the value
of a variable (read-write).
Frequently Used Terms in Variable Names
The following terms are frequently used in the name of a MIB variable:
Capability refers to the actions an object can perform, or to actions that can
be taken by the object. Hot-pluggable is an example of a capability. If a card is
hot-pluggable, it can be replaced while a system is running. Capability settings
refer to the capabilities of the object that the user can select from and activate
if desired. Capability settings allow users of the server administrator to
predetermine how an object behaves under specific conditions.
Settings are the conditions of a manageable object that determine what
happens when a certain value is detected in a component. For example, a user
can set the upper critical threshold of a temperature probe to 75 degrees
Celsius. If the probe reaches that temperature, the setting causes an alert to
be sent to the management console. Some settings, when reached, can trigger
a system shutdown or other response to prevent damage to the system.
State refers to the condition of an object that has more than one condition.
For example, an object may be in a not ready or in an enabled state.
Status refers to the health of an object or how the object is functioning. For
example, the status of a temperature probe that is measuring acceptable
temperatures would be reported as normal. When the probe begins reading
temperatures that exceed limits set by the user, it reports a critical status.
Tables
This reference guide contains two types of tables: tables that are used to
organize and define variable values and tables that define MIB objects.
Readers must understand the difference between these two types of tables.
28 Introduction
SNMP Tables
Most of the MIB objects defined in this reference guide are organized into
SNMP tables. SNMP tables organize data into two-dimensional structural
arrays. In SNMP, objects that have a relationship to other objects are called
columnar objects. Columnar objects are objects used to form lists and tables.
When a MIB group is divided into one or more discrete tables, the word table
has a technical meaning. An example is the section of this reference guide
entitled Universal Unique Identifier (UUID). The UUID object has a type
and a value that uniquely identifies an object such as a chassis. The table
defines all of the variables that comprise the managed object UUID.
The following table is an example of an SNMP table. The table contains
variables that must occur in a definite sequence. In the example table the
defined variables are UUID Chassis Index, UUID Index, UUID Type, and
UUID Value.
