702 Storage Management Alert Reference
SNMP Trap Variables
The Storage Management SNMP traps use a set of variables that are included
with every trap. These variables are the following:
• messageIDEvent
• descriptionEvent
• locationEvent
• objectNameEvent
• objectOIDEvent
• objectNexusEvent
• currentStatusEvent
• previousStatusEvent
Viewing SNMP Traps
SNMP traps that are generated by Storage Management can be viewed in any
standard SNMP-compatible enterprise management console. These traps are
defined in the Storage Management MIB. These traps correspond to the
alerts documented in the “Alert Descriptions and Corrective Actions” section.
For more information on the MIB and its structure, as well as a change history
of the SNMP traps, see the "Introduction" section. For more information on
configuring SNMP, see "SNMP Support for Storage Management Alerts."
Alert Descriptions and Corrective Actions
The alerts generated by the redundant array of independent disks (RAID) or
Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) controllers and supported by
Storage Management are displayed in the Server Administrator Alert subtab
or through Windows Event Viewer. These alerts can also be forwarded as
SNMP traps to other applications.
SNMP traps that are generated for the alerts are included in the Storage
Management MIB. The SNMP traps for these alerts use all of the SNMP trap
variables. For the list of storage management alerts and storage management
messages, see the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Messages Reference
Guide. This guide is available on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com
and on the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD.
