SNMP
SNMP, Simple Network Management Protocol, is the Internet's standard for remote monitoring and management of hosts,
routers and other nodes and devices on a network. Storage Mirroring provides an SNMP sub-agent that monitors Storage
Mirroring and can be managed from an SNMP Management Console.
Storage Mirroring installs two components to work with SNMP.
‹ The sub-agent is a program that installs and runs on the same machine as Storage Mirroring and gathers statistics, data,
and traps. The sub-agent forwards the information to the SNMP agent, which relays the information to the manager. The
Storage Mirroring SNMP sub-agent is included in the Storage Mirroring installation program.
‹ A Storage Mirroring .mib file is placed on the administrator’s machine so that the management console can interpret the
data sent from the sub-agent. The Storage Mirroring .mib file is dt.mib and meets SNMP standards.
Configuring SNMP
The Storage Mirroring .mib file will need to be loaded into your SNMP Management Console. Depending on the type of
console you are using, this process might include compiling the .mib file. Reference your SNMP Management Console
documentation for additional information.
SNMP statistics
The following tables identify the Storage Mirroring statistics provided through SNMP.

transmitted by the mirroring process
dtMirBytesGenerated The number of bytes that have been transmitted by the mirroring process
dtRepOpsGenerated The number of operations (create, modify, or delete) that have been
transmitted by the replication process
dtRepBytesGenerated The number of bytes that have been transmitted by the replication process
dtFailedMirrorCount The number of operations that failed to mirror because they couldn’t be read
on the source
dtFailedRepCount The number of operations that failed to be replicated because they could not
be read on the source
dtActFailCount The number of activation code errors
