Monitoring Cisco UCS Manager via HP System Information Manager 7.1 (SIM)

[Troy Bennett]

I am working with a customer to configure HP System Information Manager 7.1 (SIM) to monitor their Cisco UCS Manager.

The customer is looking to monitor the following:

- CPU Utilization on manager, blades, servers, etc...

- Memory utilization

- Network utilization

- System inventory

Alerting is needed for the following:

- Hardware failures: memory, power supply, drive, etc...

- Predictive failures

- Alert messages

I have the list of all the MIBs provided by Cisco but an having the following issues while loading them into HP SIM.

While loading MIB "CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-TC-MIB" I get the following error message:

• Line 128: Error defining object: expected a label, found reserved symbol {
• Line in MIB: SYNTAX Gauge32 {
• Guage32 is imported from SNMPv2-SMI MIB

To get past this error I found a version of the MIB that removes all the textual conventions that where causing errors.  I have attached the fixed MIB file to this discussion. With the fixed version of the MIB installed in SIM everything compiles and installs except the following two MIBS. CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-NOTIFS-MIBCISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-CONFORM-MIB Questions:

1. 1. Is there any way to get the CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-TC-MIB MIB to install correctly into HP SIM?
2. 2. Is my MIB load order setup correctly?
3. 3. Has anyone had success getting HP SIM to monitor and alert for Cisco UCS manager?
