Preface
SNMP Agent User Guide for VSP E Series 9
Chapter 1: Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of the SNMP implementation for monitoring Hitachi Virtual
Storage Platform E series storage systems, including the agent and management functions.

SNMP Manager overview


SNMP Manager is installed in the network management station. It collects and manages
information from SNMP agents installed in the managed devices on the network.
The SNMP Manager graphically displays information collected from two or more SNMP
agents, accumulates the information in the database, and analyzes problems discovered
while accumulating this information.

Note:
■ SNMP versions v1, v2c, and v3 are supported.
■ An RFC-compliant encryption algorithm is adopted for User-based Security
Model (USM) authentication.

How SNMP works


Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an industry-standard protocol for managing
and monitoring network devices, including disk devices, routers, and hubs. SNMP uses
Simple Gateway Management Protocol (SGMP) to manage TCP/IP gateways.
The following figure shows an example SNMP environment.

Chapter 1: Introduction
SNMP Agent User Guide for VSP E Series 10
Management Information Base overview

An SNMP manager monitors the devices, which are referred to as managed nodes. Typically,
an SNMP Manager polls the SNMP agents on a periodic basis. The manager receives the
reports from the agents and determines whether the devices are operating normally. If an
abnormal event occurs, an SNMP Agent can report the condition without a request from the
manager, by using a trap message.
When an SNMP manager polls an agent, the following dialogue takes place:
■ An SNMP Manager sends a request packet to an SNMP Agent, which requests data
regarding the status of the managed node.
■ The SNMP Agent sends a response packet back to the SNMP Manager.
■ SNMP uses the TCP/IP User Datagram Protocol (UDP). If the SNMP Agent does not
respond within a specified time period, the SNMP Manager re-sends the request packet.
That time period is set by the system administrator, taking into account the network traffic
and operation policy.
■ If an SNMP Agent again does not respond to the resent packet, the SNMP Manager
assumes that an error has occurred. Depending on the times set for polling and response,
this dialogue can take several seconds.
If an SNMP Agent detects an abnormal event, it sends a trap to the SNMP Manager.
However, if a trap is dropped in transmission, the SNMP Manager does not know that it was
sent. For this reason, you should use both polling and traps to determine whether an
abnormal event has occurred.

Management Information Base overview


The standardized configuration and database of network management information is called a
Management Information Base (MIB). A standard MIB is common to all SNMP interfaces. An
extension MIB is defined by the particular managed device or protocol.
A MIB is a collection of standardized configuration and network management information that
is contained in each device on the network. Each MIB contains a set of parameters called
managed objects. Each managed object consists of a parameter name, one or more
parameters, and a group of operations that can be executed with the object. The MIB defines
the type of information that can be obtained from a managed device, and the device settings
that can be controlled from a management system.
The MIB definition file, VSPStorageSystemMIB.txt, is located in the program\SNMP
folder of the software media kit.

SNMP Agent configuration


The SNMP Agent runs on the storage system.
The SNMP Agent communicates with the SNMP manager through the LAN between the
storage system and the SNMP manager.
The following figure illustrates the SNMP environment.

Chapter 1: Introduction
SNMP Agent User Guide for VSP E Series 11
SNMP Agent overview

The following figure shows an example of SNMP operations using an SNMP manager.

SNMP Agent overview


The SNMP Agent is mounted on a managed device (such as a hard disk) in the network. It
collects error information, the usage condition, and other information about the device, and
forwards the information to the SNMP Manager.

The SNMP Agent reports disk storage system failures to the manager using the SNMP trap
function.

SNMP traps
An SNMP Agent reports storage system errors to the SNMP Manager using the SNMP trap
function.
When an error occurs, the SNMP Agent issues an SNMP trap to the SNMP Manager that
includes the product number, nickname, reference code, component where the failure
occurred, failure date and time, and detailed information about the failure.
For details about SNMP trap reference codes, see the SIM reference guide.

Chapter 1: Introduction
SNMP Agent User Guide for VSP E Series 12
SNMP Agent operations

The following table lists the types of events that trigger an SNMP Agent trap.

Events Description

Acute failure detected. All operations in a storage system stopped.

Serious failure detected. Operation in a component where a failure occurred stopped.

Moderate failure detected. Partial failure.

Service failure detected. Minor failure.

SNMP Agent operations


Operations that an SNMP Agent can perform fall into the categories GET REQUEST,
GETNEXT REQUEST, GETBULK REQUEST, and TRAP.
The following table describes the types of SNMP Agent operations.

Operation Description

GET Obtains a specific MIB object value.


REQUEST
GET REQUEST is the request from an SNMP Manager, and GET
RESPONSE is the agent's response to that request.

GETNEXT Continuously finds a MIB object.


REQUEST
GETNEXT REQUEST is the request from an SNMP Manager, and GET
RESPONSE is the agent's response to that request.

GETBULK Continuously finds specified MIB objects only.


REQUEST
GETBULK REQUEST is the request from an SNMP Manager, and GET
RESPONSE is the agent's response to that request.

TRAP Reports an event (failure) to an SNMP Manager.


TRAP occurs without a request from the SNMP Manager.

SNMP Agent reported errors


Several different types of errors can be reported when GET REQUEST, GETNEXT
REQUEST, and GETBULK REQUEST operations are sent to an SNMP Agent.
The following table describes the errors that can be reported and suggests corrective action.

Error Description Corrective action

noError (0) Normal N/A

Chapter 1: Introduction
SNMP Agent User Guide for VSP E Series 13
Component status information from SNMP Manager

Error Description Corrective action

noSuchName ■ There are no MIB objects that are Verify that the name of the
(2) required. (Not supported.) requested object is correct.
■ The GETNEXT REQUEST command
that is specified for the following object
identifier of the last supported MIB
object is received.

SET REQUEST is received. SET REQUEST operation is


not supported.

genErr (5) Error occurred for other reasons. Retry the operation.

You can use the SNMP supported MIBs reference to find information on the standard and
extension MIB specifications, and trap configuration.

SNMP Agent failure report trap contents


A standard extension trap protocol data unit (PDU) includes the product number of the device
that experienced the failure, the device nickname, and a failure reference code. A failure
report trap contains additional information about the failure, such as the area, date, and time
of the failure.
If you obtain the information with the GetRequest command, access the MIB by using the
product number of the device as an index.
The following table shows the failure report trap.

Name Object identifier Type Description

eventTrapSerialN .1.3.6.1.4.1.116.5.11.4.2.1 INTEGER The product


umber number of the
device that

Problem Causes and solutions

Information cannot be received by GET Causes:


REQUEST, GETNEXT REQUEST, and ■ An SNMP Manager IP address and
GETBULK REQUEST operations.
community or user have not been added.
■ GUM failure occurred.
■ A network environment error occurred.
Solutions:
■ Add an IP address and community or
user. (See Adding request authentication
for SNMP v1 and v2c (on page 22) or
Adding request authentication for SNMP
v3 (on page 23).)
■ Restore GUM.
■ Contact your network administrator.

Trap cannot be received. Causes:


■ An SNMP Manager IP address and
community or user have not been added.
■ GUM failure occurred.
■ A network environment error occurred.
Solutions:
■ Add an IP address and community or
user. (See Adding trap notification for
SNMP v1 and v2c (on page 17) or
