MIB Compilation and Definition File Creation
Before the manager application accesses the RAID controller, it is
necessary to integrate the MIB into the management application’s
database of events and status indicator codes. This process is
known as compiling the MIB into the application. This process is
highly vendor-specific and should be well-covered in the User’s
Guide of your SNMP application. Ensure the compilation process
successfully integrates the contents of the ARECARAID.MIB file into
the traps database.
SNMP Installation
The installation of the SNMP manager is accomplished in several
phases:
• Starting the firmware-embedded SNMP community configura-
tion.
• Installing the SNMP extension agent on the server
• Installing the SNMP manager software on the client
• Placing a copy of the Management Information Base (MIB) in a
directory which is accessible to the management application
• Compiling the MIB description file with the management appl-
cation
