Integration of CentricStor V3.1 in SNMP

Appendix

With it a simple statement can be provided on the operating condition of CentricStor:

turquoise: CentricStor is working (OK)
yellow:

CentricStor is working with restrictions (degraded, attention)

pink:

CentricStor is in fail state

The “Global System State” is shown by a colored square in the bottom line of the GXCC.
If the mouse is positioned on this square, more details of the current state are shown in the
form of a Balloon Help.

12.1.3.2

Monitoring using any SNMP Management Station

The functional integrity of the carrier system on CentricStor and its LAN card can be
monitored by means of ping and/or MIB-II. Configuration options are provided in the SNMP
management software for checking the functional integrity cyclically. However, this only
enables you to see that the carrier system is still running. It does not allow you to check
whether the CentricStor firmware is still operating properly.

Consequently CentricStor sends traps to the Management Stations. In addition to the
standard traps (linkUp, linkDown, coldStart, etc.), CentricStor sends important error events
concerning the software or the hardware to the Management Station as a trap.

Important key data of a CentricStor’s MIB-II:

Sysobjectid: enterprises.231.1.19.1

Important key data of the standard traps:

Sysobjectid: enterprises.231.1.19.1

Important key data ofImportant key data of CentricStor-specific traps:

ObjectID: enterprises.231.2.48.2.2
Specific Trap #: 0
Var. Binding 1: enterprises.231.2.48.2.1.2: CS-MsgManager

(instance on CentricStor which sends the trap)

Var. Binding 2: enterprises.231.2.48.2.1.3: Device on which the error occurred
Var. Binding 3: enterprises.231.2.48.2.1.4: Weight of the message
Var. Binding 4: enterprises.231.2.48.2.1.5: Actual message text

The weights 5=ERROR, 6=CRITICAL, 7=ALERT and 8=EMERGENCY are reported as
traps. Currently no traps are generated for the other weights 1=INFO, 2=DEBUG,
3=NOTICE and 4=WARNING.

Storing the MIB for the CentricStor trap:

The MIB of the CentricStor trap is stored in the ASN-1 code in the directory
/usr/apc/lib/mib

with the file name centricstor.mib and the MIB for the

SysObjID in the file sni.mib in each CentricStor system and can be obtained with ftp
when necessary
