bcnHaSerOperState

Module: BCN-HA-MIB

OID (symbolic): BCN-HA-MIB::bcnHaSerOperState

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.13315.3.1.5.2.1.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: Operational state of the Service. The possible states are: standalone(1) The node is not configured to provide clustering services. active(2) The system is operational and the node is providing clustering services. passive(3) The system is operational and the node is active as a passive standby for the cluster. stopped(4) The service is stopped either intentionally (i.e.: the service is not supposed to run on this node) or unintentionally (a problem has occurred). This state might apply to both standalong and clustered nodes. stopping(5) The service is in the process of stopping. Stopping a service might be necessary after a configuration change. becomingActive (6) The node is becoming active, either as a result of a switchover or by initial start. becomingPassive (7) The node is failing over. Another node is taking charge of the services. fault(8) An error has been detected and the state is undefined.

What is bcnHaSerOperState?

Reports the current operational role of this node in a high-availability cluster, such as standalone (no clustering), active (serving traffic), or passive (standby). Monitoring this helps detect unexpected failover or cluster configuration changes.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.13315.3.1.5.2.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> BCN-HA-MIB::bcnHaSerOperState

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.13315.3.1.5.2.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> BCN-HA-MIB::bcnHaSerOperState.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> bcnHaSerOperState.1

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a BlueCat Networks DNS/DHCP/IPAM appliance as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type bcnHaSerOperState into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The operational state of this clustered service — standalone, active, passive standby, stopped, stopping, becoming active, becoming passive, or fault. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is an INTEGER-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the value is 'fault' or 'stopped', or it changes between standalone/active/passive unexpectedly, since which role is correct for this node depends on your clustering configuration and an unplanned change often indicates a failover. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
