Chapter 5: Troubleshooting
This chapter provides troubleshooting information for the Hitachi SNMP Agent.
Solving SNMP problems
This topic describes some problems that can occur with SNMP. You should install a
secondary SVP. Otherwise, traps could be reported to an IP address that is not specied
in SNMP settings.
The following problems can occur:
SNMP security function
If the SNMP security function is working, and a command is executed from an IP
address that is not entered, you will get a "no reply" return, and a certication
error is received for a trap.
SNMP cold trap function
■
Depending on your network environment, you might not receive SNMP agent
cold traps when the SVP is rebooted.
■
The SNMP agent might report Link up/Link down Trap when the SVP reboots.
■
A number of Link up/Link down Traps may be reported when the SVP OS is
Windows 7.
Abnormal response to SNMP command
If an error occurs in the SVP, traps might not be sent.
Problems inputting MIB denitionles
If you cannot input two or more MIB denitionles because of the specications
of the SNMP manager software, use the MIB denitionles for your storage
system. Error reports include storage system nicknames, which can be used to
identify each storage system.

Hitachi Alert Notication Guide for VSP5000 Series36
Chapter 6: SNMP overview
This chapter provides an overview of the SNMP implementation for monitoring Hitachi
Virtual Storage Platform 5000 series storage systems, including the agent and
management functions.
SNMP Manager overview
SNMP Manager is installed in the network management station. It collects and manages
information from SNMP agents installed in the managed devices on the network.
The SNMP Manager graphically displays information collected from two or more SNMP
agents, accumulates the information in the database, and analyzes problems discovered
while accumulating this information.
Note:
■
SNMP versions v1, v2c, and v3 are supported.
■
An RFC-compliant encryption algorithm is adopted for User-based Security
Model (USM) authentication.
How SNMP works
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an industry-standard protocol for
managing and monitoring network devices, including disk devices, routers, and hubs.
SNMP uses Simple Gateway Management Protocol (SGMP) to manage TCP/IP gateways.
The following gure shows an example SNMP environment.
Chapter 6: SNMP overview
Hitachi Alert Notication Guide for VSP5000 Series37
Management Information Base overview
An SNMP manager monitors the devices, which are referred to as managed nodes.
Typically, an SNMP Manager polls the SNMP agents on a periodic basis. The manager
receives the reports from the agents and determines whether the devices are operating
normally. If an abnormal event occurs, an SNMP Agent can report the condition without
a request from the manager, by using a trap message.
When an SNMP manager polls an agent, the following dialogue takes place:
■
An SNMP Manager sends a request packet to an SNMP Agent, which requests data
regarding the status of the managed node.
■
The SNMP Agent sends a response packet back to the SNMP Manager.
■
SNMP uses the TCP/IP User Datagram Protocol (UDP). If the SNMP Agent does not
respond within a specied time period, the SNMP Manager re-sends the request
packet. That time period is set by the system administrator, taking into account the
network trac and operation policy.
■
If an SNMP Agent again does not respond to the resent packet, the SNMP Manager
assumes that an error has occurred. Depending on the times set for polling and
response, this dialogue can take several seconds.
If an SNMP Agent detects an abnormal event, it sends a trap to the SNMP Manager.
However, if a trap is dropped in transmission, the SNMP Manager does not know that it
was sent. For this reason, you should use both polling and traps to determine whether
an abnormal event has occurred.
Management Information Base overview
The standardized conguration and database of network management information is
called a Management Information Base (MIB). A standard MIB is common to all SNMP
interfaces. An extension MIB is dened by the particular managed device or protocol.
A MIB is a collection of standardized conguration and network management
information that is contained in each device on the network. Each MIB contains a set of
parameters called managed objects. Each managed object consists of a parameter
name, one or more parameters, and a group of operations that can be executed with the
object. The MIB denes the type of information that can be obtained from a managed
device, and the device settings that can be controlled from a management system.
The MIB denitionle,VSP5KMIB.txt, is located in the program\SNMP folder of the
software media kit.
SNMP Agent configuration
The SNMP Agent is installed on the service processor (SVP), which is the computer within
the storage system that manages the storage system.
The storage system has an exclusive LAN for communications with the SVP and a
separate LAN for SNMP. The conguration of each Network Management Station is
determined by the type of SNMP manager.
The following gure illustrates the SNMP environment.
Chapter 6: SNMP overview
Hitachi Alert Notication Guide for VSP5000 Series38
SNMP Agent overview
The following gure shows an example of SNMP operations using an SNMP manager.
SNMP Agent overview
The SNMP Agent is mounted on a managed device (such as a hard disk) in the network. It
collects error information, the usage condition, and other information about the device,
and forwards the information to the SNMP Manager.
The SNMP Agent reports disk storage system failures to the manager using the SNMP
trap function.
SNMP traps
An SNMP Agent reports storage system errors to the SNMP Manager using the SNMP
trap function.
When an error occurs, the SNMP Agent issues an SNMP trap to the SNMP Manager that
includes the product number, nickname, reference code, and an identier of the
component.
Hitachi Alert Notication Guide for VSP5000 Series39
Chapter 6: SNMP overview
SNMP Agent operations
The following table lists the types of events that trigger an SNMP Agent trap.
EventsDescription
Acute failure detected.All operations in a storage system stopped.
Serious failure detected.Operation in a component where a failure occurred
stopped.
Moderate failure
detected.
Service failure detected.Minor failure.
An SNMP Agent logs the most recent 10,000 traps, so you can see the trap history of a
particular device.
SNMP Agent operations
Operations that an SNMP Agent can perform fall into the categories GET REQUEST,
GETNEXT REQUEST, GETBULK REQUEST, and TRAP.
The following table describes the types of SNMP Agent operations.
OperationDescription
GET
REQUEST
GETNEXT
REQUEST
Obtains a specic MIB object value.
GET REQUEST is the request from an SNMP Manager, and GET RESPONSE
is the agent's response to that request.
Continuously nds a MIB object.
GETNEXT REQUEST is the request from an SNMP Manager, and GET
RESPONSE is the agent's response to that request.
Partial failure.
GETBULK
REQUEST
TRAPReports an event (failure) to an SNMP Manager.
Continuously ndsspecied MIB objects only.
GETBULK REQUEST is the request from an SNMP Manager, and GET
RESPONSE is the agent's response to that request.
TRAP occurs without a request from the SNMP Manager.
SNMP Agent reported errors
Several dierent types of errors can be reported when GET REQUEST, GETNEXT
REQUEST, and GETBULK REQUEST operations are sent to an SNMP Agent.
The following table describes the errors that can be reported and suggests corrective
action.

SNMP Agent failure report trap contents
A standard extension trap protocol data unit (PDU) includes the product number of the
device that experienced the failure, the device nickname, and a failure reference code. A
failure report trap contains additional information about the failure, such as the area,
date, and time of the failure.
If you obtain the information with the GetRequest command, access the MIB by using
the product number of the device as an index.
The following table shows the failure report trap.

■
x: A hexadecimal number between 0 and f.
1. If you select All for Notication Alert in the Edit Alert Settings window, the SNMP
agent reports all SIMs. If you select Host Report, the SNMP agent reports only
SIMs that perform the host report.
2. If the DKC emulation type is I-2105 or I-2107, SIMs are reported to the host only if
SOM 308 is enabled. However, SOM 308 is disabled by default.
3. This SIM is not reported to the host, but the SNMP agent reports the SIM when
Host Report is selected for Notication Alert in the Edit Alert Settings window.
4. The SNMP agent does not report this SIM when Host Report is selected for
Notication Alert in the Edit Alert Settings window, because the SIM is reported
to the host, but not to the SVP.
5. SIMs are not reported to the host by default. To enable reporting of service SIMs,
see the Hitachi Universal Replicator for Mainframe User Guide.

Converting DB and RDEV numbers to the HDD location number
Converting DB and RDEV numbers to the HDD location
number
To identify the location of an error, convert drive box (DB) and RDEV numbers to the
HDD location number.
The following describes the bit alignment of DB and RDEV numbers (which are expressed
by 13 bits of a SIM reference code) and the relationship between the DB and RDEV
numbers and the HDD location.
■
Format of the DB and RDEV numbers
W (4 bits)X (4 bits)Y (4 bits)Z (4 bits)
wwwwxxxxyyyyzzzz
DB number (8 bits)RDEV number (5 bits)
Example:
When SIM code = eb75a5 (Correction access occurred [eb7xxx]):
WXYZ = 75a5 (hexadecimal)
75a5
0111010110100101
DB number = AD (hexadecimal)
173 (decimal)
■
Relationship between the DB and RDEV numbers and the HDD location number
Example:
When WXYZ = 75a5 (hexadecimal):
RDEV number = 05 (hex)
5 (decimal)
HDD location number: HDD173-05
The following table describes the relationship between the DB and RDEV numbers (13
bits of a reference code), drive box number, RDEV number, and HDD location number,
taking the example of drive boxes DB-000, DB-001, DB-190, and DB-191.
