Using the SNMP MIBs

The LeftHand Networks MIBs provide read-only access to the storage system. The SNMP
implementation in the storage system supports MIB-II compliant objects.

These files, when loaded in the SNMP client, allow you to see storage system-specific information
such as model number, serial number, hard disk capacity, network characteristics, RAID
configuration, DNS server configuration details, and more.

NOTE:

With version 8.5 and later, traps no longer all use a single OID. The

LEFTHAND-NETWORKS-NOTIFICATION-MIB defines the OIDs now in use.

Installing the LeftHand Networks MIB

The complete set of standard SNMP MIB files and the LeftHand Networks MIB files are installed
when installing the CMC using the Complete option. The installer places the MIBs in the following
directory by default: C:\Program Files\HP\P4000\UI\mibs. Your SNMP client may require that
you copy the MIBs to another location, or you may need to copy them to the system where your
SNMP client is installed.

On the system where your SNMP client is installed, load the LeftHand Networks MIBs as outlined
below, using the SNMP client. The complete set of standard SNMP MIBs must also be loaded.

Load the MIBs as follows:

1.

If you do not have the standard SNMP MIBs loaded, load them.

2.

If you do not have HCNUM-TC.MIB loaded, load it.

3.

Load LEFTHAND-NETWORKS-GLOBAL-REG-MIB.

4.

Load LEFTHAND-NETWORKS-NSM-MIB.

5.

The following MIB files can be loaded in any sequence.

LEFTHAND-NETWORKS-NSM-CLUSTERING-MIB

LEFTHAND-NETWORKS-NSM-DNS-MIB

LEFTHAND-NETWORKS-NSM-INFO-MIB

LEFTHAND-NETWORKS-NSM-NETWORK-MIB
