Hi, all.
I just imported xSNMP.Brocade MP to SCOM 2007 R2. Everything works fine, but I have one problem with monitoring objects, named xSNMP.Brocade.Interface.
It looks like a true that the monitor xSNMP.Monitor.InterfaceStatusPoll was inheriet from xSNMP.Interface object, so it use same OIDs like Interface Objects of xSNMP.Interface (.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1).
Thereby monitoring Dashboard will always looks like a GREEN zone – that is all intefaces are ok ), even if FCInterface OIDs – PhyState (.1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.6.2.1.3) are not.
Help me please to resolve this problem.

TIA…

First of thank you for this great mp!

I have only a problem to integrade the ILOM to System Center Operations Manager 2007. In your documentation you say, that the ILOM have to use the SUN-PLATFORM-MIB and I think here is the problem.
We use a X4600 M2
http://blogs.sun.com/barrettblog/entry/walking_the_system_hardware_snmp
…The problem with the SUN-PLATFORM-MIB on these platforms was that it was traping out IPMI event numeric codes….

I am not sure whether there is a layer 8 error or it is not supportet to use the SNMP-agent on this ILOM.

I am very grateful for any help!

you need to configure the rules section in SCOm to monitor specific performance targets. Contact me if you need help but basically

go Authoring
-Rules
Look for:cisco
then go to Type: xSNMP Cisco Network Interface
You will see these are not monitored by default so you need to Enable them by configuring overrides. I create Groups of Interfaces for my switches/routers so as not to collect all information about every switch
To monitor an interface you can just create an override to enable the rule. It will take ten minutes or so to show up in
Monitoring/Perfromance Data

hope that helps!

Hi Don,
I agree. they are really nice and pretty easy to implement.
Just need to read the docs carefully.
Check the interfaces types that are defined inside xsnmp network interfaces groups.
For Brocade FC interfaces Kris say the following:
“My Brocade management pack depends on the Brocade switch’s SNMP implementation reporting FibreChannel interfaces in the RFC-1213 ifTable. I chose not to discover interfaces in this MP from the Brocade specific SNMP tables, because newer Brocade firmware versions expose FC interfaces in the iftable, and I did not want to have duplicate interface monitoring.

This article on HP’s website seems to describe the firmware versions required by Brocade switches to support FC interfaces in the ifTable: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=110&prodSeriesId=402271&prodTypeId=12169&objectID=c01941079
Brocade 3800 and 2800 will never respond to the MIB 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2 as it was not implemented in its FOS. So to reply with the “FC ports” every switch has to be upgraded to 6.3.0, except in case of the 24000 that they will have to upgrade to 5.3.2c.

Enjoy yourself.
