Description: Provides management objects for CIMC virtual media (KVM-mounted ISO/disk images) on Cisco UCS/Firepower compute nodes.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is CISCO-FIREPOWER-CIMCVMEDIA-MIB?

CISCO-FIREPOWER-CIMCVMEDIA-MIB models the Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) virtual media subsystem on Cisco Firepower/UCS compute nodes, which lets administrators remotely mount ISO images or virtual disks over the network as if physically attached. It exposes a table of actual virtual-media mount entries describing each mount's device type, image file name and path, mapping name, mount protocol, and any error condition encountered. For monitoring purposes it is used to check the software/operational status of remote-media mounts rather than physical health: an admin can confirm whether an ISO is currently mounted, which protocol and image path are in use, and detect mount failures via the error-type field, important when performing remote OS reinstalls or firmware recovery. It is part of the broader Cisco Firepower/UCS management-information-model family, alongside sibling MIBs like CISCO-FIREPOWER-IMGSEC-MIB and CISCO-FIREPOWER-SYSFILE-MIB, and depends on the CIMC out-of-band management infrastructure. It is deployed on Cisco Firepower security appliances and UCS server platforms with CIMC, primarily used during remote provisioning, OS re-imaging, or disaster recovery operations. Engineers can download the CISCO-FIREPOWER-CIMCVMEDIA-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-FIREPOWER-CIMCVMEDIA-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • Cisco Firepower security appliances / UCS compute blades with CIMC

Monitoring Examples

An administrator remotely reinstalling Firepower software would poll cfprCimcvmediaActualMountEntryTable/Entry to confirm cfprCimcvmediaActualMountEntryImageFileName and cfprCimcvmediaActualMountEntryImagePath match the intended installation ISO, and check cfprCimcvmediaActualMountEntryMountProtocol to verify the correct transport is in use. If the reinstall stalls, cfprCimcvmediaActualMountEntryErrorType would reveal a mount failure, such as an unreachable share or authentication issue tied to cfprCimcvmediaActualMountEntryEncPwd credentials. The cfprCimcvmediaActualMountEntryDn/Rn distinguished-name fields let the monitoring tool correlate the mount entry back to the specific chassis/blade object in the CIMC management hierarchy.

What Can Be Monitored

  • virtual media mount status
  • mounted image file name and path
  • mount protocol in use
  • virtual media mount errors
