Hi Timo,

first of all, I do not recommend to use SNMP on HP e3000, out of
performance but also out of Security aspects. SNMP is not the securest
protocol as you know.

Nevertheless, some hints:
* in group NET.SYS you will find the SNMPUDC. This should be set in any
case for MANAGER.SYS or on system level.
* Having set this, a SNMPCONTROL STATUS will show you the status of the
SNMP subsystem.
SNMPCONTROL START / STOP are self explaining ;-)
* The MIBs specific for MPE can be found in the document "HP SNMP/XL User's
Guide" which is available on the HP Instant Information CD but also on
http://www.docs.hp.com/ (but currently I do not have access to the web site
to give you the exact URL).
* Specifically for performance you may use the following command file (or
similar) to check the MIstate value which is needed to get the (current)
percentage of CPU utilization:
USER DEFINED COMMAND FILE:  SNMPTEST.SCHMIDA.SYS

COMMENT SNMPTEST command to verify SNMP Patch
COMMENT if MIstate is disabled, use snmpset lines to reactivate.
SETVAR SNMPSETYN "N"
snmpwalk.net.sys 0,'<pw>',hp.nm.system.general.mpeXLSystem.processor
input SNMPSETYN;PROMPT="Do you want to activate MI [!SNMPSETYN] ?"
IF ups("!SNMPSETYN")="Y" THEN
   snmpset.net.sys
0,'<pw>',hp.nm.system.general.mpeXLSystem.processor.process
orMIstate.0,integer,1
ENDIF

Output could be:
[13] XEBHH2:snmptest
Name: hp.nm.system.general.mpeXLSystem.processor.numActive.0
Integer: 1

Name: hp.nm.system.general.mpeXLSystem.processor.numPresent.0

Name: hp.nm.system.general.mpeXLSystem.processor.processorMIstate.0
Integer: (disabled) 2

Name: hp.nm.system.general.mpeXLSystem.processor.cpuUtilization.0

Name: hp.nm.system.general.mpeXLSystem.processor.processorMIstate.0

See specifically the explanation of cpuUtilization (out of the mentioned
manual):
DESCRIPTION: "The overall CPU utilization percentage on the system. If the
system has more than one processor, the value returned is averaged out over
all of the processors that are present. The measurement interface must be
enabled in order to get a valid value returned for this object (see above
object). The number returned is the percentage of the CPU that was used
since the last time the number was sampled. This value is consistent with
various HP performance tools such as Glance/XL. If the measurement
interface is not enabled, the value returned will be 0."



Hope that will help. We stopped SNMP in our company as far as possible,
including HP-MPE. But I still have my test CPU ;-)

 Hey

Im not familliar with the HP3000 at all Im the network manager. Ive want to
start monitoring a HP3000 with SNMP for things like CPU util \ jobs running
or whatever other cool stat I can SNMP grab from this box. Problem I have
is
I cant find the MIBs for it anywhere on HP's site.  I was able to find
plently of MIBs for Jetdirects and Procurve switches but not this server.
Are the up there ? Did they come on a CD that came with the box?

If this helps its a HPe3000/A500-200-14 , MPE XL C.70.01

I appreciate any help and would graciously post the working MRTG config
files for whatever Im graphing when this project is over.

Thanks Much!

Timo
