Janne,

Have you considered looking at alternative SNMP agents?  I'm currently
evaluating Net-SNMP (formerly ucd-snmp) running under Solaris 2.6 and I'm very
pleased with it.  Once installed it requires very little in the way of
configuration and returns data to WUG about HDD, Memory & CPU utilisation,
monitors selected processes from the process table and a whole bunch of other
stuff that I haven't looked at yet, it runs under just about any flavour of Unix
and best of all - it's free!!!

Check out http://www.net-snmp.org

Best regards

Subject:    [WhatsUp Forum] Monitoring HP-UX servers disk space with SNM
Author: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi!
I hoped, that WUG's engineers were willing to solve my problem, but answer
was: 
"This type situation is out of my scope of support.  It seems that the HP is
not returning the correct values. What I can offer you is a free
subscription to the WhatsUp Discussion List."
Not very healthy PR, I think.

My goal is to check disk capacity by using SNMP and laucnhing an alarms if
limits are exceeded (this works great with NetApp filers), but now I have a
problem.
I downloaded hp-unix.mib and extracted it by using mibextra.
I have a HP-UX server C3000 (hostname abc) which has snmpd-agent running
(community is public).

For example, if I try from my linux ws: 
[root@xyz /root]# snmpwalk abc public enterprises.11.2.3.1.2.2.1.3
enterprises.11.2.3.1.2.2.1.3.1073741825.0 = "/dev/vg00/lvol1"
enterprises.11.2.3.1.2.2.1.3.1073741827.4 = "/dev/vg00/lvol3"
enterprises.11.2.3.1.2.2.1.3.1073741828.4 = "/dev/vg00/lvol4"
enterprises.11.2.3.1.2.2.1.3.1073741829.4 = "/dev/vg00/lvol5"
enterprises.11.2.3.1.2.2.1.3.1073741830.4 = "/dev/vg00/lvol6"
enterprises.11.2.3.1.2.2.1.3.1073741831.4 = "/dev/vg00/lvol7"
enterprises.11.2.3.1.2.2.1.3.1073741832.4 = "/dev/vg00/lvol8"
enterprises.11.2.3.1.2.2.1.3.1073807361.4 = "/dev/vg01/lvol1"
[root@xyz /root]#

As you see I'll get all the logigal volumes are listed there.

But try to get that list with WhatsUp. With Net Tools (SNMP) :
Address:    abc
Community:  public
What:       1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.1.2.2.1.3

Get All Subitems --> Start

It shows you only the first one (which ends with .0):
fileSystemName.1073741825.0   /dev/vg00/lvol1
It seems that WUG can't handle anything which ends with .4.

And if you select a server and use SNMP View... --> view MIB
enterprises...hp...nm...system...general...fileSystem

You'll see that on the right hand window, there are:
fileSystemTable
fileSystemsMounted      8     (<--- surprisingly WUG shows you amount of
filesystems)

BUT IF YOU CLICK ON fileSystemTable YOUR WUG HANGS :(       (My OS is
Win2000 Prof)
It does not return any values after that and you have to kill it by hand.


If you have workaround or other solutions, please email directly to me !
