Problem with SNMP MIBs on Dell machines

[just2blue4u]

hi guys,

i recently managed to get Zabbix, SNMP and OMSA running on a Dell PE850 Test System:

# snmpwalk -v 1 localhost -c public .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.700.20.1.6.1
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.674.10892.1.700.20.1.6.1.1 = INTEGER: 470
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.674.10892.1.700.20.1.6.1.2 = INTEGER: 310

with -m ALL even the MIB resolution works:

# snmpwalk -m ALL -v 1 localhost -c public iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.dell.1089 2.1.700.20.1.6.1
MIB-Dell-10892::temperatureProbeReading.1.1 = INTEGER: 460
MIB-Dell-10892::temperatureProbeReading.1.2 = INTEGER: 310

but without -m ALL it doesn't work:

# snmpwalk -v 1 localhost -c public iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.dell.1089 2.1.700.20.1.6.1
iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.dell.1089 2.1.700.20.1.6.1: Unknown Object Identifier (Sub-id not found: enterprises -> dell)

giving the exact MIB name also works:

# snmpwalk -m MIB-Dell-10892 -v 1 localhost -c public iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.dell.1089 2.1.700.20.1.6.1
MIB-Dell-10892::temperatureProbeReading.1.1 = INTEGER: 460
MIB-Dell-10892::temperatureProbeReading.1.2 = INTEGER: 310

my snmpd.conf says:

# grep -i dell /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
mibs +MIB-Dell-10892:StorageManagement-MIB

(i saw this here and here)

here i think they are trying to tell me something i don't quite understand...

Fact is, Zabbix gets the correct values (even the Trigger works ) but says "SNMP error [(noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB.]"



Can someone help me please?

Thanks,
Heiner

The error field will sometimes not clear out once the error condition goes away. If that error was still happening on every call you would not get any results. I know thas was talked about in the forums before (maybe not for snmp specifically) and I thought it was fixed in the 1.4 branch.

I have the same experience as swaterhouse.

I'm using the preconfigured templates from zabbix for Dell servers.
This really works fine.

If someone know's how to clear the old errors, pls. let me know.

You could go into the DB and just clear out the fields in there directly, I don't think there is a way to do it from the front-end.

I am getting all values as soon as i switch the machine on. So i'll install all needed tools on another testsystem and monitor it and see what will happen!

Thanks so far!

So now i found the time to install OMSA/SNMP on another client and linked it to the dell templates.
Some Items show errors (because that client has no scsi-raid-device), others don't.

Maybe that issue is fixed with one of the future updates...
