MIBs

How to translate trap-type definitions from a particular MIB into a OVO template?

If you want an individual policy per MIB, then you can create a dedicated temporary trapd.conf file and convert this:

# mkdir /var/tmp/IF-MIB

# cd /var/tmp/IF-MIB

# touch /var/tmp/IF-MIB/ovtrapd.conf.IF-MIB

# chmod 755 /var/tmp/IF-MIB/ovtrapd.conf.IF-MIB

# export OVTRAPDCONF=/var/tmp/IF-MIB/ovtrapd.conf.IF-MIB

# echo "OVTRAPDCONF=$OVTRAPDCONF"

# cp -p $OV_SNMP_MIBS/Standard/rfc2863-IF-MIB .

# xnmloadmib -replace -load /var/tmp/IF-MIB/rfc2863-IF-MIB -trapType

# ovtrap2opc $OVTRAPDCONF "IF-MIB" IF-MIB

A download configuration directory structure is created under /var/opt/OV/share/tmp/OpC_appl/IF-MIB

Example:

/var/opt/OV/share/tmp/OpC_appl/IF-MIB/C/TEMPLATES/TRAP/trap.dat

MIB Kit

The Insight Management MIB update kit for HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) provides the latest HP server event support for HP SIM. This kit provides all the necessary MIB files to update HP SIM, or any other MIB tool, to have the latest support for HP ProLiant and Integrity servers. Starting with the 8.0 update, the update kit is a full complement of MIBs, so you no longer need to compile older MIB kits for full hardware support. The version numbers of the MIB kit closely aligns with the ProLiant Support Pack.
