Re: Modify to Discover Cisco UCS Rack/Chassis

Hi LGentile,

 

I've managed to find and modify a PET MIB froom Intel that will translate the Cisco UCS Test Traps to something other than the unknow/undefined trap Event SIM generates.

Also with the Cicso UCS_C_Series2.0 set of MIBs, I'm able to translate the incoming Cisco UCS Notification based on the cisco-unfied-computing-fault-mib.my MIB. It still need some fine tuning though.

What caused a lot of confusion is Cisco lack of effort in this space to provide the details to their customers to get this working on SNMP enabled monitoring platforms. I only managed to do the above when I saw a statement from Cisco know error stating the customer needs to modify the PET MIB to receive and interpret certain traps. The Test trap is not created by Cisco, but use the InteL PET standard (like Dell). See the "SNMP: Symptom C200 or Nexus 1010 Hardware generates snmp traps with the following OID's" Workaround.

 

What I've also found is the CIMC is flakey and doens't always function (at least the SNMP sub-system) and needs resetting.

 

In terms of Events, there's only two (Fault raised and a fault cleared ) are generated by CIMC, but it's the body of the content or variables that provides the information of what the trap is related to. See "Cisco UCS C-Series Faults".

 

It's not ideal, but some progress and at least I can now forward these SIM Events to my HP BSM platform for the OpsBridge to action.
