Subject: PowerEdge 2950 and omsa

Hi, I'm trying to monitor our Dell PowerEdge 2950 with snmp. The server
is running Debian 4.0 with 2.6.18.4 kernel. Whith the command:

snmpwalk localhost -c public -m ALL -v2c

I get a lot of information but no dell specifik. When i use the command:

snmpwalk -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1 -v2c

I get this message:

MIB-Dell-10892::baseboardGroup = No Such Object available on this agent
at this OID

I have put:

smuxpeer .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1

in /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

Dell omsa is installed and omreport works and all ipmi modules are
loaded. I think all needed omsa processes are running:

 > ps -e | grep dsm
 4613 ?        00:00:00 dsm_sa_datamgr3
 4647 ?        00:00:00 dsm_sa_eventmgr
 6436 ?        00:00:00 dsm_sa_snmp32d

I have send a email to dell's linux PowerEdge mailing list but did not
get any help that worked. I have enabled snmp in
/etc/default/dellomsa.dpkg-new. This is my first time working with snmp
so I don't know where the error is.

Hi, Niklas -

First off, let me say that I'm not in Dell OMSA group, I'm in firmware
dev. YMMV with anything I say, because I'm not an expert in SNMP, I'm a
programmer.

What I want you to do is to look for the file MIB-Dell-10892.txt on your
system. It bothers me that -m ALL didn't give you the Dell OIDs. Even if
your browser does not have it, the numeric OID walk should have given
you the _data_ back from those calls.

Next, try snmpget of a specific numeric OID that you know the contents
of (from that MIB). If you get that OID back with good data, then your
problem is that your snmpwalk is not loading the MIB definition files. I
just ran into the same problem in our coding. ;-D

A caution: I believe these values are coming from the baseboard
management controller, which is/has its own CPU. It may be that you need
to query the BMC's SNMP daemon, not the x86 Linux CPU's daemon. The
Linux system is 'localhost', and I'm not sure how to access the BMC
directly. It may only be through OMSA that theese values are available
because of this.
