(pls forgive me if this mail arrives doubled)

Hi all.


I have couple of HP (CPQ?) Proliant boxes, and am happily 
running on the Debian Linux.
HP provides couple of SNMP agents for linux for the hardware
monitoring.
However, they are Providing only for RedHat and the like.

I downloaded their software, converted it to debian-style, 
I reached already most of the functionality, just with the 
HP-specific part I met difficulties.

I'm not that snmp professional (yet), but trying my best.
Pointing me to the right documentation is OK.

These SNMP agents from HP have the disadvantegous feature(?) 
that their MIBs are not separately supplied, but somehow 
hardcoded compiled into the agents binaries.

So I cannot simply add the MIB files to the mibs directory,
(as written in the FAQ) but I should use definitions for the 
snmpd like this:
'For definitions of this CPQ.or.HP.specicific.object contact
AGENTName1'

I mean I can request more than a thousand objectvalues per
snmp, about the sysUptime, and so on. But in the list 
that snmpwalk gives me about the box I don't yet see the HP
specific Objects, since snmpd doesn't yet have the information
about them.

I am using the following version:

atsrvlx04:~# dpkg -l | grep snmp 
ii  libsnmp-base   5.1.1-2        NET SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol
ii  libsnmp-perl   5.1.1-2        NET SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol
ii  libsnmp-sessio 0.90-1         Perl support for accessing SNMP-aware device
ii  libsnmp5       5.1.1-2        NET SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol
ii  libsnmp5-dev   5.1.1-2        NET SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol
ii  snmp           5.1.1-2        NET SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol
ii  snmpd          5.1.1-2        NET SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol
ii  tinysnmp-tools 0.6.2          TinySNMP Utilities
atsrvlx04:~# 

HP suggests two things: 
1. use ucd-snmp. If I understand correctly, net-snmp was called so earlier.
2. compile snmpd with the '--with-dlmod' configure option. Okay, I did that.

I am not quite sure, if I gave enough information for you to be able to 
help me on, but if not so, then by any means, pls let me know what
infos you need more.

any help is appreciated.


regards,


charlie
