Importing the Brocade MIB into a UNIX environment
You can import the Brocade 6910 MIB into third-party network management applications, such as
HP OpenView. By default, the Brocade 6910 MIB files are in DOS ASCII format that uses the
following characters:
•
CR/LF – Indicates the end of a line
•
^Z - Indicates the end of a file
However, in a UNIX environment, the characters LF are used to indicate the end of a line. No
character indicates the end of a file. Thus, if you need to import the Brocade 6910 MIB into a UNIX
environment, you must use a tool that converts the DOS ASCII into UNIX ASCII, such as the
dos2unix tool.
Reloading MIBs into a third-party NMS
Third party network management systems, such as HP OpenView may have problems reloading
MIB files. Ensure that you must upload the following when reloading the Brocade 6910 MIB:
•
Unload the Enterprise MIBs which were installed from the previous upgrade before reloading
any new Enterprise MIB file.
•
Unload the Standard MIBs which were installed from the previous upgrade before reloading
any new Standard MIB file.
