HP Switch MIBs for OME

The way I've always found random MIBs like this is to google for the full OID. In this case, that lands you at www.oidview.com/.../HP-ICF-OID.html.

After that, search for the OID on that page, that gets you an HP part number: J8697A

At http://support.hp.com/, search for that part number. You'll have to poke around, but then find the "Download Drivers and Software" link for that device, then you should see a set of MIBs towards the bottom of the list:

h10145.www1.hp.com/.../SoftwareReleases.aspx

HP is not great at releasing MIBs, they put the kitchen sink in the download. I have not tried to import any of their MIBs to OME yet, but you will probably have to pick and choose which ones you import. And there may be an order you have to import them in, good luck figuring that out.

Many thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

Funnily enough, I’ve already imported everything that I could from the HP MIB download, but to no avail.

Searching the contents of the MIB’s I find that nothing relates to this OID, but I did discover the Import Utility isn’t parsing the HP MIBs properly (or at least missing chunks out)

Using “hpSwitchBasicConfig.mib” the Import Utility parses 2 of 75 – Great! :o(

Any of the Dell Guys want to have a look?

My best guess on that would be that HP didn't throw the kitchen sink in this time and it's missing some of the parent tree.

I have an OME install I need to do, and we might be consuming HP traps on it as well. I'll try to report back if I get it working.

Hi,

I did quick look for ".1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.7.11.50.2" (OME trap Snapshot above in the thread). It is strange but this looks to be an OBJECT-TYPE and defined in the HP-ICF-OID. Object name is "hpSwitchModuleJ8702A" (this MIB is downloaded from the www.oidview.com website - "HP-ICF-OID").

I am still looking for a proper  "HP-SWITCH-BASIC-CONFIG-MIB" and not able to find. Is it possible to share the link?

Regards,

@ HoosierCAB – Many thanks, any feedback would be great!

@ Dell-Manoj P – The "HP-SWITCH-BASIC-CONFIG-MIB" is included in the MIB’s from HP, as mentioned the Dell utility doesn’t seem to parse them correctly.
The download link for the MIBs is: https://h10145.www1.hp.com/Downloads/DownloadSoftware.aspx?SoftwareReleaseUId=9474&ProductNumber=J8697A&lang=en&cc=us&prodSeriesId=1827663&SerialNumber=&PurchaseDate=

But as you can see from the screenshots, only two are ever imported.

Hi,

I looked at the MIB and it looks to be having only 2 trap definitions (I searched for  "NOTIFICATION-TYPE" in the MIB). Hope I am not looking at different file.

Please note that, "OBJECT-TYPE" are attributes and not trap definitions. MIBImport utility imports only trap definitions.

Regards,

Thanks for the info Manoj.

By the way, for the folks on this thread.  I'm interested to hear your stories on how you might be using the MIB import tool to monitor traps from HP or other vendors.  

Feel free to post on progress/success you have with this.
