Be careful.. In most cases SNMP2CA does NOT work with hardware raid systems. In most cases for hardware raid systems you HAVE to use Mibs provided by the vendor for the hardware.

I was really disappointed by their response. I'm new to this product and MIB business my goal is to monitor the disk space, application processes, application threads, Raid Controller and etc. After talking with WUG technical support I thought we have bought the wrong product. Well this is what I have done so far: I have gathered a lot MIB.txt file from all over the Internet including MIB for DELL PE2650 server and used the Mibextract utility to extract this information to WUG MIB file. I'm unable to find the disk space or processes through the WUG SNMP tool. I'm not really sure what OID I should look for and where, most of the time I received NULL value when I look for a certain OID. I have the GetIF ver 3.1.2 as well for testing but still I have no luck. While reading an article over the Internet someone suggested the order MIB file is extracted is very important. I really don't know in which order I have to install the MIB files. I gathered over 300 MIB files copied all of them in a folder and run the utility "mibextrc /MIBdir *.*" that command extracted all the MIBS and gave me some error. I think maybe my WUG MIB file is so screwed up I should start from beginning. So far WUG technical support disappointed me, every technical support person give me his version of story from last two weeks and they are unable to give me any instructions or documentation how to accomplish this task. If you can help me in this matter I would really appreciate your effort. If you need any me to run the SNMP utility and send you some of the results I can do this outside of this forum.

I am using 8.03 with the current patch. The key is to use SNMP2CA and run the DISKPERF -Y command. I monitor C Drive < 1024 MB and D (and greater) drives < 20 Percent Free. Let me know if you need the OIDs BTW these are all drives in various Compaq Servers running as a RAID 5 array.

You can monitor any SNMP oid with wug and therefore if you have the proper MIBS from the hardware manufactuer (Dell) and they are installed properly, you should be able to walk the mib to find the proper OID for the logical drive you want to manage. The WUG technical support is refering to the SNMP2CA and SNMPw2k mib extensions which cannot do logical drive space on raided system. RANT AGAIN: If ipswitch would release the ability to monitor WMI objects like SNMP objects, we would not have this issue. -----Original Message----- From: Dean Naqvi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2004 2:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Disk Space Monitoring Hi I just spoke to WUG technical support and they told me WUG couldn't monitor raided disk. I have obtained the MIB file for the Dell Power Edge 2650 server and extract the information for WUG, but still no luck. I'm using Dell Open Manager and raid 5. Does anyone know for sure if they are correct? Regards Dean Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
