Windows 2008 flagging SAN drives as VM or mem in SNMP
Has anyone run into this issue on WIndows Server 2008:
For some Windows Server 2008 Enterprise, connecting to EMC CX-300i SAN:
On snmp, in oid 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3, it flags most of my SAN drives as Virtual Memory, or Physical Memory. It also mis-reports the allocation units as 65536 instead of 4096. As a result, I cannot get correct %used reports from these drives from SNMP. Indeed, if I run a straight HRstorage table report, it returns zeros for these drives.
I also have Informant SNMP installed on these servers, and the SAN drives dont even show up in walks of that mib branch.
If anyone has found a solution to this I'd love to hear about it!
Thanks

Not sure if this helps, but you can check to see if the mib you're using is the most current:
The following is a Primus(R) eServer solution:
ID: emc171987
Domain: EMC1
Solution Class: 3.X Compatibility
Goal Where can I find the Management Information Base (MIB) file for my CLARiiON or VNX storage system?
Fact Product: CLARiiON AX4-5
Fact Product: CLARiiON CX Series
Fact Product: CLARiiON CX3 Series
Fact Product: CLARiiON CX4 Series
Fact Product: VNX Series
Fact Services: Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Symptom Cannot find the MIB file for a CLARiiON or VNX system.
Fix Click this link to download the CLARiiON/VNX MIB file.
Note: Currently (May 2012) there is no new MIB for the VNX Series. The CLARiiON FA MIB is still valid for use with the Block portion of VNX. VNX for File has a MIB and supports SNMP v1 , v2, and v3 (/nas/sys/emccelerra.mib).
Note This file is provided "as is" as a courtesy to EMC customers. Individual SNMP systems vary and EMC cannot guarantee that this file will work with all systems. EMC does NOT support this MIB so customers use it at their own risk. However, it is a good starting point. Changes to the file may be required to compile properly. For more information on the MIB, see the Engineering White Paper Managing CLARiiON with SNMP on Powerlink (http://powerlink.emc.com). The White Paper includes a graphical representation of the CLARiiON SNMP trap object as well as the Fibre Alliance MIB.

See the reply above - it mentions that this is for the VNX also.
