Who's using the MIB Import Tool

bump!

Rob,

I have tried to use the tool to import the INTELLAN.mib to define the ".1.3.6.1.4.1.343.2.7.2.3.1.1.1 Trap Ids:Generic:6 Specific:1; (;0=19;1= )" trap.  Unfortunately it tells me that the MIB has already been imported.  Would importing this MIB and replacing the existing MIB solve the problem?  If so, then it would be nice to have the ability to replace a loaded MIB.

Also, it would be nice if the tool would parse the MIB into an easily readable format to verify the contents.

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback. Currently the MIB import tool doesn't allow importing of MIB if it is already present in OME as part of install. This does prevent you from replacing the older MIBs which are carried with OME with a newer version.

If it is a MIB you have loaded after OME installation, you can try the Remove MIB option in the tool.  

We will take a look at these request for future release of the tool.

I just downloaded and installed the tool and when trying to import, I'm getting a message saying "You do not have permissions to modify the OpenManage Essentials database.  what gives?

Hi there.

Did you install it on the same box as your OME server?  If you are logged in the same way you are for running OME you should be ok.

Rob

I did and I'm logged in with the same account I use to manage OME.  I haven't restarted the server yet though.  Is it necessary?

restart should not be needed?

hmmmmm....

Did you do a custom or default install for OME?

Are you using a local or remote SQL database?

thx

Rob

Hi,

Can you check if you are using OME version 1.0.1.1253? The version information is available by clicking the About link on top right. OME creates the user groups when it is run for the first time after installation. The same groups/permissions are used by MIB import tool later. Just want to make sure you have started OME on that server before running MIB import tool.

I can't think of a good reason that you might be seeing this error.  It would be good if you can open a ticket on this and maybe the support guys can help get more detail around your environment (800-945-3355 ).

Thanks,

Rob

Nevermind. Fixed. 

ODBC settings weren't configured correctly by the installer for some reason.  Went into Control Panel, Data Sources (ODBC), under authentication, updated the DSN to connect with Windows NT authentication instead of blank server authentication which is what it was originally set to.

Running into the same issue.  The OME system (v 1.3) is running Windows 7 with SQL Server 2008 R2.

Login attempts aren't showing on the SQL logs, so I assume the connection to the DB is misconfigured somewhere?

Any suggestions for a fix? 

Hi Rob, I would hate for you to think nobody has this working or finds it useful... we certainly do!

Backup-Exec-MIB (Symantec)
CMC-MIB (Riverbed)
CONTROLLER-MIB (Riverbed)
PowerNet-MIB (APC)
STEELHEAD-MIB (Riverbed)
TapeAlert-MIB (HP?)

Hi and thanks for adding to this thread.  We really like to know what MIBs folks have been using as it helps other users out as well.

Best regards,

Rob
