I am having trouble with SNMP Polling from UCS Manager 1.4(1j).
I seem to only get SNMP data from Nexus such as those described in (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus5000/sw/mib/reference/NX5000_MIBRef.html) I don't see any OIDs corresponding to those mentioned specifically for UCS listed in (ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/mibs/supportlists/ucs/ucs-manager-supportlist.html).
Documentation on the cisco web site said that UCS Manager 1.4(1) and above will have MIBS such as CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-EQUIPMENT-MIB available.
Is there a separate IP addresses I should poll for these or any specific things that need to be set up?
I am not sure how we can gain access to the UCS related MIB objects exactly. The description on SNMP enable for UCS Manager is very brief (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/sw/gui/config/guide/1.4/UCSM_GUI_Configuration_Guide_1_4_chapter6.html#task_2054446421216050764)
It only described the community string set up under UCS Manager ->Admin->Communication Management -> Communication Services, bu didn’t really say anything about which IP addresses from the Management Interfaces should be used to get them.
Has anyone successfully polled data from say the CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-EQUIPMENT-MIB and be able to help?
Thanks in advance.

Greetings.
The UCS manager VIP has a large OID range that can be polled that covers the chassis level items such as fans, PSUs, to the blades and their components.
If you are not able to poll the VIP check the following:

Valerie,
Have you read through the UCS MIB Guide: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/sw/mib/reference/UCS_MIBRef.html
or
http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/netmgmt/cmtk/mibs.shtml

Yes indeed.
I learnt about the CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-EQUIPMENT-MIB and the other Cisco UCS Manager MIB Support list by selecting UCS Manager under the Unified Computing drop down on this http page you quoted.
(http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/sw/mib/reference/UCS_MIBRef.html)
Is there anything specific from those docs you are referring to that would make it such that we get the Nexus MIBs rather than ones under UCS Manager?
The two IP addresses for Fabric Interconnect A and B under Management Interface only give us info from MIBs listed under the Nexus documentation only. Nothing fir say 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.719.1.15.
No SNMP data form the virtual IP address.
Not sure where data under 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.719.1.15 would be accessible

I did a quick test here to the VIP of a UCS in the lab and it seems to work fine.
1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.719.1.15 matches cucsEquipmentObjects
I am able to walk all objects under that MIB. I simply enabled SNMP in UCSM, loaded the MIBs in my MIB browser and pointed it to UCS.

Thanks Christophe.
So it is definitely to the virtual IP address of the UCS Manager where we can poll these MIBs. I will double check on our settings.

Hi Christophe,
Is there any way to poll UCS manager VIP ? I am able to poll individual IP's of UCS manager after configuring SNMP but unable to poll any data of VIP for this. We are using SolarWind monitoring tool in our infra.
Thanks.

Thanks Kirk for your reply.
I found actual issue was from solarwind monitoring in our infra for these particular VIP polling. We have changed the poller and now issue is resolved. Our monitoring team is working on it as some of the pollers are unable to fetch information through snmp. I will update you once we get the solution.
Thanks,
Vaibhav

I know this is an ancient thread, but just wanted to add to it for others who happen across it like I did. If you're trying to snmpwalk against the VIP, TCP-based queries will work without any special firewall config. From snmpwalk, you just preface the IP address or name with tcp:, i.e.:
# snmpwalk -v 3 -a SHA -A authpass -X privpass -x AES -l authPriv -u username tcp:ucsVIP.domain.com
Of course, many monitoring systems don't support TCP-based queries, so then you're stuck querying the FI's directly, doubling the amount of monitoring you need to do since one may be offline.
