Compiling MIBs for the SAN Volume Controller

This topic describes how to compile the MIB for the SAN Volume Controller on the master console.

The SAN Volume Controller cluster must be installed and operational.

Perform the following steps to compile the SAN Volume Controller MIB.

  1. Use secure copy to copy the MIB from the SAN Volume Controller node to the master console:
    1. Open a DOS command prompt on the master console.
    2. Run pscp to copy a file from a SAN Volume Controller node.

      pscp.exe userID@engine_IP_address:
      //compass/prod190.txt target_file
      –I private_key_file -2

  2. 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.
  3. In the Tasks menu, click Discover Systems and then SNMP Devices.
  4. 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.
  5. When the window opens, asking you to select the location of the new MIB, click the prod190.txt file that you have saved.
  6. 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.
  7. Close the Status Messages window.
