SNMP failing at specific OID

Question

I have a PE 500SC running Windows 2003. I have installed Server Administrator 4.5 and I am able to see logs, configure alerts, etc. I am trying to monitor the server hardware events remotely with my SNMP system. When I use the snmpwalk utility to identify the available status points, I continualy recieve the following failure message. (Note that I have used snmpwalk successfully on dozens of Dell and HP servers.)

Error in packet.
Reason: (genError) A general failure occured
Failed object: iso.3.6.1.2.1.25.6.3.1.5.114

According to my research, the offending OID belongs to Dell and is associated with the HrSWInstalledEntry object. Although the parent OID of 3.6.1.2.1.25.6.3 is listed as 'non-accessible' I went through all user-editable fields in Server Administrator. No change in results.

Can someone tell me what the child OID is associated with, and maybe an idea of how to fix it?

Thanks,

Joe

That OID is from the MIB 2, RFC 1514 http://www.alvestrand.no/objectid/1.3.6.1.2.1.25.html Host Resources MIB.  The specific OID is 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.6.3.1.5 and it is a software install date.  I think you are trying to run a get on an indexed OID.  Try running a WALK on 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.6.3.1.5   http://www.oidview.com/mibs/0/HOST-RESOURCES-V2-MIB.html   I ran it against a 2850 and it has only goes up to 61 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.6.3.1.5.1  -  1.3.6.1.2.1.25.6.3.1.5.61 and the results are all HEX values   .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.6.3.1.5.1returned 0x07 0xD6 0x0A 0x1B 0x10 0x06 0x0E 0x00   This data is Software information http://www.telecomm.uh.edu/stats/rfc/HOST-RESOURCES-MIB.html
