AIX native SNMP producing limited results when walking MIB tree
The company I work for has various AIX servers that I've recently migrated to AIX 7.1 (from 6.1). Some are powerHA clusters some are not. Likewise, the systems engineer that I replaced had net-snmp installed on said clustered systems. Long story short I am re-invoking AIX's native SNMP (v3) for use with our enterprise monitoring applications and have found that our clustered servers are producing limited results when walking the MIB tree. Even using v1 or v2, same results.
Now I'm not sure that powerHA clustering has anything to do with it, or the fact that NET-SNMP was also installed, but without fail, the clustered servers produce only a little over 200 results when running:
My other systems, with the exact same OS version and configuration (minus powerHA and the pre-existence of NET-SNMP) produce thousands of results:
I've validated SRC properties, mib files, conf files, etc and can find no real differences between the 2 servers exampled above - again other than powerHA and the pre-existence of NET-SNMP. The limited results are hindering SNMP monitoring obviously. Any thoughts on what I'm missing in regards to my limited results in the first example?
If any conf or log output helps, I'd be more than happy to oblige.
Previous UNIX guy set the SNMP_PORT variable in 2 places to differing, non-default values. This caused the MIB subagents from connecting to the SNMP daemon. Eliminated one and reset the variable in /etc/environment to my desired port, restarted the daemons and all was well.
i run the command
snmptable -v2c -c public myIP IF-MIB::ifTable
the result look like this :
SNMP table: IF-MIB::ifTable
ifIndex ifDescr ifType ifMtu ifSpeed ifPhysAddress ifAdminStatus ifOperStatus

Hi,
I was trying to uninstall the native MPIO driver on the AIX 6.1 machine we have in our lab and ran into a whole bunch dependent filesets initially. I deleted the disks, fcsX, fscsiX, fcnetX and tried again, but ran into the same error.
Subsequently, I figured out that the OS disks in... (4 Replies)
I want to compress backup files to tape using compress on our AIX 4.2

- the only compressing tool we have is 'compress'
- tapes are 5Gb 8mm

Hi folks,
does anybody have a link to a documentation how to implement native MPIO on AIX? We are using EMC PowerPath and Datacore SanSymphony/Cambex for this so far and I wasn't able to find a good description on that topic. All I know so far is that mkpath, chpath and lspath are used to... (3 Replies)
I was setting up snmpd on a Solaris 8 server and needed more than the standard mibs, so I installed net-snmp so I could get the UCD-SNMP-MIB. I did not know another way, but I am able to monitor what I need.
I would like to know if I could import the UCD-SNMP_MIB into the existing... (0 Replies)
