D-3 SNMP Installation
Perform the following steps to install the Sans Digital RAID controller SNMP function into the SNMP manager. The
installation of the SNMP manager is accomplished in several phases:
1. Installing the SNMP manager software on the client
Installing the SNMP manager software on the client. This installation process is well-covered in the User's
Guide of your SNMP manager application.
2. Compiling the MIB description file with the management
Placing a copy of the RAID controller's MIBs file in a directory which is accessible to the management
application and compile the MIB description file with the SNMP management application database. Before
the manager application accesses the RAID controller, it is necessary to integrate the MIB into the
management application's database of events and status indicator codes. This process is known as
"compiling" the MIB into the application. This process is highly vendor-specific and should be well-covered
in the User's Guide of your SNMP manager application. Ensure the compilation process successfully
integrates the contents of the .mib file into the traps database. The MIBs file resides at: <CD-ROM>\
packages\SNMP_MIBs on the software CD or download from
Each RAID controller needs to have its own MIBs file. Sans Digital provide 4 adapters MIBs file for users.
User can request it if more controllers install on one system.
Note:
1. The MIB compiler may be not installed by default with SNMP manager.

message to modify the MIB file to be able to met the software requirement.
