Insight Manager 7 SNMP Extensions utility
The SNMP Extensions Toolkit is intended for administrators and network managers who also
have administrator privileges in Insight Manager 7. SNMP Extensions requires administrator
privileges because core server SNMP definitions of Insight Manager 7 might be modified.
the set of installed
MIBs
Insight Manager 7 provides a set of MIBs that are already registered into the database. The
default location for registered and non-registered MIBs is the following directory unless you have
specified another at installation:
\Program Files\HP\ Insight Manager 7\compaq\protocol\snmp\Mibs
When you supplement the MIB set with new or revised MIBs, always copy them to this directory.
The MIB Upload feature always installs the MIBs into the correct location. The registered MIBs
and related files include:
• IETF Standard RFC 1213 Host Resources MIB and IETF Standard 1155 Structure of
Management Information
• A set of HP MIBs, which are identified by the prefix CPQ, such as CPQCLUS. MIB, the
HP cluster MIB or CPQIDE.MIB, the MIB for IDE drives.
• Third-party MIBs, such as the PATROL.MIB.
protecting source
MIBs
An excellent practice in MIB management is to never modify the MIB. Therefore, SNMP
Extensions was designed to enable changes to trap declarations and other trap information
without modifying the source MIBs. SNMP Extensions creates an editable file called the editfile.
The editfile is a textual revision file identified by the file extension of REV. The editfile is applied
after the MIB is compiled
Because the changes are not made to the MIB, you can reinstall MIBs and replace the changes if
the database is corrupted or deleted. Therefore, keep backup copies of the REV editfiles. You
can find the REV files in the same directory as the set of installed MIBs.
\Program Files\HP\Insight Manager 7\compaq\protocol\snmp\Mibs
