Appendix A. DMI to SNMP Translator

You can use the DMI-SNMP Translator to integrate DMI management with SNMP. The translator
attaches directly to the Network OS's SNMP agent and to the DMI Service Layer by registering as
a management application. The translator translates management requests from SNMP to DMI and
responses from DMI to SNMP. DMI events (indications generated by the component
instrumentation when a threshold is crossed or a sensor changes state) are translated into enterprise-
specific SNMP traps.
The translator translates these MIF files:
•
Baseboard
•
ICMB
•
Local Response Agent
•
Adaptec SCSI
•
LSI (Symbios) SCSI
•
Promise IDE
•
LAN Adapter
The translator raises a trap when a DMI indication is received. The DMI-SNMP Translator does
not support configured actions. This alerting mechanism works independently of the Local
Response Agent.
For the DMI-SNMP Translator to work correctly, the SNMP Agent on the managed server OS
must be configured correctly. For example, the Windows 2000 Advanced Server, or Linux Red
Hat 7.1 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 2.1 Agents need some configuration to enable the server
to send SNMP traps to specific SNMP management consoles. To configure the SNMP Agent on
the server, see the documentation supplied by the OS vendor.
To manage the DMI information on Linux Red Hat 7.1 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 2.1
servers supplied by PIC software through the SNMP management workstation, the following MIBs
must be compiled on the SNMP console:
•
MAPBASE4.MIB
•
MAPLRA.MIB
•
MAPSHA.MIB
These MIB files are installed during the PIC Console and PIC Server installation. The files are
copied to the %PIC_PATH%\SNMPMIBS directory during installation. PIC_PATH is the
installation directory chosen during install.
The procedures for compiling these MIBs depend on the SNMP console being used. For more
information, see the documentation supplied with your SNMP console software.
