MIBs Provided with TCP/IP Services

This chapter describes how MIBs are implemented on OpenVMS. The MIBs provided with TCP/IP Services are:

•The Host Resources MIB, which manages operating system objects (Section 2.1)

•MIB II, which manages TCP/IP kernel objects (Section 2.2)

2.1Overview of the Host Resources MIB

The Host Resources MIB defines a uniform set of objects useful for the management of host computers. The Host Resources MIB, described by RFC 1514, defines objects that are common across many computer system architectures. The TCP/IP Services implementation of SNMP includes many of these defined objects. In addition, some objects in MIB II provide host management functionality.

2.1.1 Defining Host Resources MIB Implemented Objects

This section defines each of the implemented eSNMP objects. Table 2–1 provides a general RFC description and a specific OpenVMS description for each implemented object.

Table 2–1 Host Resources MIB Objects

Object Name RFC Description OpenVMS Description

hrSystemUptime	The amount of time since this
	host was last initialized.
hrSystemDate	The host’s notion of the local
	date and time of day.

Time since system boot (in hundredths of a second).

Date and time character string with Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) information if available.

hrSystemIntialLoadDevice	Index of the hrDeviceEntry
	for configured initial
	operating system load.

Index of SYS$SYSDEVICE in the device table.

hrSystemIntialLoadParameters Parameters supplied to the load device when requesting initial operating system configuration.

hrSystemNumUsers	Number of user sessions for
	which the host is storing
	state information.

A string of boot parameters from the console (Alpha only).

Number of processes that are neither owned by another process nor running detached.
