Introduction

This reference guide provides information about the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Management Information Base (MIB) which is applicable for Dell OpenManage Version 7.0.

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 18, 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. SNMPexperts 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.

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

18 Introduction

• 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. TheSNMP 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.

Introduction 27

Description is a brief explanation of what a particular managed object does. 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 789.

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.

28 Introduction

Tabl es

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.

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.
