Managing MIB files

NOTE: To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release, you must have necessary user privileges. See

Role-based OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release user privileges.

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–Tech Release enables

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

for device management. OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release supports SMI1 and SMI2. OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release

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–Tech Release.

You manage MIBs by:

• Importing MIB files

• Removing MIB files

• Resolving MIB types

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

Release 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.

Importing MIB files

Ideal process flow of MIB import: User uploads the MIBs to OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release > OpenManage Enterprise–

Tech Release parses the MIBs > OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release searches the database for any already available

similar traps > OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release displays MIB file data. The maximum file size of MIB that can be imported is

3 MB. The OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release Audit log history records every import and removal of MIBs.
