This topic describes how to compile MIBs for the SAN File System
on the master console.
Prerequisites
The SAN File System cluster must be installed and operational and
the metadata server must have been configured to send traps to the master
console.
Context
You need to compile MIBs for the SAN File System Service Alert
feature and for the RSA II adapter.
Perform the following steps to
compile the Service Alert MIB.
Steps
- Use secure copy to copy the MIB from the metadata server to the
master console:
- Open a DOS command prompt on the master console.
- Change to the putty directory (cd /program
files/putty) and run pscp to copy a file from a metadata
server engine. Note that you enter the command on one line and
that target_file needs to end in the extension .mib.
pscp -I private_key_file -2 userID@engine_IP_address:
/usr/share/snmp/mibs/IBM-SANFS-MIB.txt target_file.mib
If private keys have not been exchanged with the metadata servers,
use the following syntax:
pscp.exe -2 userID@engine_IP_address:
/usr/share/snmp/mibs/IBM-SANFS-MIB.txt target_file.mib
- Open the IBM® Director console.
Note: When you log in
to IBM Director,
the password for the IBM Director Login window must match the password for the IBM Director
Server services.
- In the Tasks menu, click Discover Systems and then SNMP
Devices.
- In the Groups pane on the left side of the panel, expand the All
Groups group and right-click the SNMP Devices group, then click Compile
a new MIB.
- When the window opens, asking you to select the location of the
new MIB, click the IBM-SANFS-MIB.txt file that you have saved.
- The Status Messages window presents the following:
MIB file submitted to the server.
Starting MIB compile...
MIB Parsing complete
Resolving MIB imports
Saving MIB objects...
MIB Compile Finished.
- Close the Status Messages window.
- Compile the MIB for the RSA II adapter to configure it to send
traps as well.
- Download the RSA MIB. The MIB is obtained from the IBM Support Web
site at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support as part of the firmware package for
the RSA II adapter. You download the firmware update from IBM as a single
executable file.
- Run the executable file, which will request that you insert
a diskette. The diskette is formatted and the updated software is copied to
the diskette (including the MIB).
- Use the same process for compiling the RSA MIB as for the SAN
File System MIB. For more information, refer to the RSA II firmware documentation.
