HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage Concepts Guide (OS 3.1.2 MU2) (QR482-96384, June 2013)

Standard Compliance
The HP 3PAR SNMP agent supports the following standards:
• SNMPv2c
This version refers to a widely used administrative framework for SNMPv2, also known as
“community-based SNMPv2.” Although this version includes SNMPv2 enhancements like notification
and GETBULK requests, it still relies on the SNMPv1 community concept for security.
• Standard Management Interface-v2 (SMIv2)
This standard specifies the format of the MIB. The HP 3PAR MIB definition uses SMIv2 conventions.
• SNMPv3
This version provides stronger security with user-based authentication and Protocol Data Unit (PDU)
or packet encryption.
Supported MIBs
You can find the MIB files on the HP 3PAR CLI and SNMP CD. The HP 3PAR SNMP agent supports
the following MIBs:
• SNMPv2-MIB
• Management Information Block-II (MIB-II), system group.
For discovery and basic information, the HP 3PAR SNMP agent supports the MIB-II system group.
• snmpTrap group, snmpTrapOID only.
This is the authoritative identification of the notification currently being sent. This variable occurs
as the second varbind in every SNMPv2 trap.
• HP 3PAR MIB
This is the HP 3PAR proprietary MIB.
MIB-II
MIB-II defines several groups of standard information to be provided by the agent. The SNMP
agent supports only the system group objects. Table 11 (page 73) summarizes the MIB-II information
provided by the SNMP agent. See the topic Registering a Management Console in the HP 3PAR
Command Line Interface Administrator's Manual for detailed descriptions of these MIB-II system
group objects.
