Managing MIB files

NOTE: To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have necessary user privileges. See Role-based

OpenManage Enterprise user privileges on page 14.

Third party tools in your data center may generate alerts that are vital for your operations. Such alerts are stored in the

Management Information Base (MIB) files defined and understood by respective vendor tools. However, OpenManage

Enterprise enables you to manage such MIBs also so that the non-Dell EMC MIBs can imported, parsed, and used by

OpenManage Enterprise for device management. OpenManage Enterprise supports SMI1 and SMI2. OpenManage Enterprise

provides built-in MIB files that can be used for Dell EMC devices. These are read-only MIBs and cannot be edited.

NOTE: Only valid MIBs with traps are handled by OpenManage Enterprise.

You manage MIBs by:

● Import MIB files on page 128

● Remove MIB files on page 130

● Resolve MIB types on page 130

By clicking OpenManage Enterprise > Monitor > MIB, you can manage the MIB files that are used by OpenManage

Enterprise and other System Management tools in the data center. A table lists the available MIB files with the following

properties. Click the column heading to sort data.

Import MIB files

Ideal process flow of MIB import: User uploads a MIB to OpenManage Enterprise > OpenManage Enterprise parses the

MIB > OpenManage Enterprise searches the database for any already available similar traps > OpenManage

Enterprise displays MIB file data. The maximum file size of MIB that can be imported is 3 MB. The OpenManage Enterprise

Audit log history records every import and removal of MIBs.
