Downloading the SNMP MIB file
The Simple Network Management Protocol is used to monitor devices on a network for conditions that require attention. When
the Rapid Recovery Core is set as an SNMP agent, the Core report information such as alerts, repository status, and protected
machines. This information can be read by an SNMP host using a standalone application called an SNMP browser.
Data objects managed by SNMP agents are organized into a Management Information Base (MIB) file that contains Object
Identifiers (OIDs). Each OID identifies a variable that can be read or set using SNMP.
You can download a MIB file from the Rapid Recovery Core. This file, named dell-aa-core.mib, can then be read by an SNMP
browser in a more user-friendly fashion than data it receives directly from the Core.
Use this procedure to download the SNMP MIB file from the Rapid Recovery Core.
1. Navigate to the Rapid Recovery Core Console.
2. On the icon bar, click
(More) and then click Downloads.
The Downloads page appears.
3. Scroll down to the Other Files pane.
4. To download the MIB file, click the SNMP MIB file download link.
The SNMP Configuration settings appear.
5. In the Opening dell-aa-core.mib dialog box, do one of the following:
● To open the log file, select Open with, then select an SNMP browser application for viewing the text-based MIB file, and
finally click OK.
The dell-aa-core.mib file opens in the selected application.
● To save the file locally, select Save File and click OK.
The dell-aa-core.mib file saves to your Downloads folder. It can be opened using an SNMP browser or a text editor.
Configuring vSphere settings
VMware vSphere is a suite of virtualization software, from which you can manage ESXi or vCenter Server virtual machines. If
using vSphere, you no longer need to load the Rapid Recovery Agent software onto individual VMs to protect them. This is
called the agentless protection feature, which applies only to virtual machines.
Use this procedure to configure vSphere settings for the Core.
