I already made this question in the past and I received an answer from Robert Story: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=27608908.
Robert suggested to use SNMP_ERR_RESOURCEUNAVAILABLE in response to GET requests of variables related to malfunction hardware sub-sections. Recently I was reading RFC 3416 (Version 2 of the Protocol Operations for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)) where there is the explanation of resourceUnavailable error. It seems it should be used in answers to SET requests, and not GET. It seems the genError is a better error code for GET response messages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
