Compiling MIBs for the SAN File System

This topic describes how to compile MIBs for the SAN File System on the master console.

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.

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.

  1. Use secure copy to copy the MIB from the metadata server to the master console:
    1. Open a DOS command prompt on the master console.
    2. Run pscp to copy a file from a metadata server engine.

      pscp.exe userID@engine_IP_address:
      /usr/share/snmp/mib/IBM-SANFS-MIB.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 IBM-SANFS-MIB.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.
  8. Compile the MIB for the RSA II adapter to configure it to send traps as well.
    1. 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.
    2. 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).
    3. 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.
