Description: Covers sessions, targets, and initiator connectivity for iSCSI gateway (storage virtualization) deployments.

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-ISCSI-GW-MIB?

CISCO-ISCSI-GW-MIB is a Cisco-specific MIB for storage networking equipment that manages iSCSI-to-Fibre Channel gateway functionality, in which FC targets and initiators are virtualized and presented to IP networks as iSCSI endpoints (and vice versa). It exposes configuration and status data covering import/export target mappings, iSCSI-to-FC node associations, authentication method settings, and persistent FC addressing used to bridge the two fabrics. Its main monitoring value is in tracking the health and consistency of this storage virtualization layer: whether iSCSI sessions and their mapped FC node roles and persistent addresses remain correctly established, and whether authentication configuration is intact, which directly affects storage connectivity availability rather than exposing classic CPU/temperature-style hardware sensors. It builds on general iSCSI and Fibre Channel management concepts and is typically deployed alongside Cisco's MDS/Nexus storage-networking software stack. It is used in SAN environments where Cisco storage gateway or MDS switch modules bridge IP-based iSCSI initiators to Fibre Channel storage targets. Engineers can download the CISCO-ISCSI-GW-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-ISCSI-GW-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 MDS/Nexus storage switch
iSCSI-to-Fibre Channel gateway module

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll iscsiImprtExprtTgtsConfTable to confirm which FC targets are being imported/exported as iSCSI targets via iscsiImprtExprtTgtsConfImport and iscsiImprtExprtTgtsConfExport, and check iscsiAuthMethod to verify the negotiated authentication scheme (e.g., CHAP) is what was configured. Cross-referencing iscsi2FcNodeTable entries -- iscsi2FcNodeRole and iscsi2FcNodePersistentFCAddr -- reveals whether an iSCSI node is still correctly mapped to its persistent FC address; a mismatch or missing entry would indicate a broken gateway mapping and impending storage access failure for hosts relying on that iSCSI path.

What Can Be Monitored

iSCSI-to-FC target import/export mappings
iSCSI authentication method
iSCSI-to-FC node role assignment
persistent FC address mapping
FC port persistent addressing

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using cIscsiStatsConnectionRxBytes OID:

Select a Cisco MDS/Nexus storage switch (iSCSI-to-FC gateway) 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 cIscsiStatsConnectionRxBytes into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. It reports the total number of bytes received on an iSCSI session. 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 a Counter64-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.

ciscoIscsiGwMIB	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.317			MIB module for monitoring and configuring iSCSI gateway functions. An iSCSI gateway represents FC (Fibre Channel) targets/initiators as iSCSI targets/initiators respectively and vice versa. It means that an iSCSI target/initiator is presented to the FC network as a virtual FC target/initiator which can be accessed by the real FC initiators or can access real FC targets, respectively. It is up to the gateway implementation how to represent the targets/initiators in each of the domains. For example, a gateway implementation may choose to represent multiple FC targets either as one iSCSI target or multiple iSCSI targets (one to one). Same applies to initiators also.

Entries in this table are automatically created when FC nodes are discovered. Entries in this table are automatically removed when FC nodes go offline. Entries also can be created/deleted using the fc2IscsiNodeRowStatus object. An entry can be created by to configure a node statically instead of allowing it to be discovered. A row in this table can not be made 'active' until values are explicitly provided for that row's instances of fc2IscsiNodeName and fc2IscsiNodeRole. The following objects cannot be modified when the fc2IscsiNodeRowStatus is 'active' : - fc2IscsiNodeRole - fc2IscsiNodeName To modify the above objects, the entry must be deleted and re-created with new values of above objects. To create an iSCSI target from whole a FC target, use fc2ScsiPortFCAddrListIndex. To create an iSCSI target from Logical Units on the FC targets, create an entry in this table. And then create an entry (s) in the scsiLuExtTable using fc2IscsiNodeName of an entry in this table as scsiLuExtLocalTargetAddress value.
T/F fc2IscsiNodeTrespassMode	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.317.1.1.4.1.9	TruthValue	read-create	The trespass mode for this node. Every iSCSI target represents one or more port(s) on the FC target (fc2ScsiPortFCAddrListIndex). If this object is 'true', the node instructs the FC node to present all LUN I/O requests to secondary port (fcSecondaryAddress) if the primary port (fcAddress) is down. Note that this object is valid only if fc2IscsiNodeRole is 'targetTypeNode'.
LIS fc2IscsiPortFCAddrListIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.317.1.1.4.1.3	ListIndexOrZero	read-create	The index of a list in the fcAddressListTable which lists all the FC node addresses associated with the node represented by this entry. Use this object to represent the whole FC targets.

If the value of this object is 'true', then the node represented by this entry is automatically discovered. If it is 'false', then the node represented by this entry was manually configured. An auto discovered node can be made manually configured node by setting this object to 'false'. Note that setting to 'false' when current value of the object is 'false' results in error. Also, object cannot be set to 'true'.
iscsi2FcNodeEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.317.1.1.3.1		not-accessible	An entry representing an iSCSI node which is presented as a FC node to the FC domain.
FCN iscsi2FcNodeFCAddr	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.317.1.1.3.1.7	FcNameIdOrZero	read-create	The persistent FC address of the node. If this object is zero-length and iscsi2FcNodePersistentFCAddr is 'true' then the FC address of the node represented by this entry is automatically assigned and made persistent. If this object is non-zero length and iscsi2FcNodePersistentFCAddr is 'true', then this value is always used as FC address of the node represented by this entry. If iscsi2FcNodePersistentFCAddr is 'false, this object is not valid. The FC address for the node represented by this entry is dynamically assigned/released when the node represented by this entry is created/destroyed.
INT iscsi2FcNodeFcAddrAssignment	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.317.1.1.3.1.13	INTEGER	read-create	This object specifies how the FC address of this node is assigned. If set to 'auto', the FC address is automatically assigned to this node. If it is 'manual', then the FC address has to be configured manually. An auto assigned node FC address can be made manually configured by setting this object to 'manual' and vice versa.

iscsi2FcNodeTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.317.1.1.3		not-accessible	This table lists all the nodes in the iSCSI domain which are currently represented in the FC domain. Entries in this table are automatically created when an iSCSI initiator logs (starts a session) into a target or an iSCSI target is discovered. Entries are also created when targets are exported from the iSCSI domain into FC. Entries in this table are automatically removed when an iSCSI initiator logs out of all targets or an iSCSI target disappears. Entries also can be created and deleted using the iscsi2FcNodeRowStatus object. If the entry created in this table exposes either iSCSI initiator or iSCSI target or both from the local device, then a entry has to be created implicitly by the agent in the cIscsiNodeAttributesTable when an entry is created in this table. A row in this table can not be made 'active' until values are explicitly provided for that row's instances of iscsi2FcNodeName and iscsi2FcNodeRole. The following objects cannot be modified when the iscsi2FcNodeRowStatus is 'active' : iscsi2FcNodeName iscsi2FcNodeRole To modify the above objects, the entry must be deleted and re-created with new values of above objects. Every node in this table is associated with a iSCSI instance which is uniquely identified by cIscsiInstIndex.

Each octet within the value of this object specifies a set of eight VSANs, with the first octet specifying VSANs 0 through 7, the second octet specifying VSANs 8 through 15, etc. Within each octet, the most significant bit represents the lowest numbered VSAN, and the least significant bit represents the highest numbered VSAN. Thus, each VSAN, is represented by a single bit within the value of this object. The corresponding VSAN is allowed on the node represented by this entry if and only if that bit has a value of '1'. If this object has a value which is less than 256 bytes long, then the VSANs which are not represented are not considered to be in this list. If this object is a zero-length string, the node represented by this entry can access only the default VSAN.
FCL iscsi2FcNodeVsanList4k	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.317.1.1.3.1.10	FcList	read-create	The list of VSANs the node represented by this entry can access. Each octet within the value of this object specifies a set of eight VSANs, with the first octet specifying VSANs 2047 through 2054, the second octet specifying VSANs 2055 through 2062, etc. Within each octet, the most significant bit represents the lowest numbered VSAN, and the least significant bit represents the highest numbered VSAN. Thus, each VSAN, is represented by a single bit within the value of this object. The corresponding VSAN is allowed on the node represented by this entry if and only if that bit has a value of '1'. If this object has a value which is less than 256 bytes long, then the VSANs which are not represented are not considered to be in the list. If this object is a zero-length string, the node represented by this entry can access only the default VSAN.
LIS iscsi2FcPortFCAddrListIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.317.1.1.3.1.8	ListIndexOrZero	read-create	The index of a list in the fcAddressListTable which lists all the FC port addresses associated with this node. The object value of the iscsi2FcPortPersistentFCAddr indicates if the addresses are persistent or not. Note that this object cannot be modified if the corresponding value of iscsi2FcPortNumFCAddr is non-zero. If the value of the object iscsi2FcPortPersistentFCAddr is 'false', then this object cannot be modified.
U32 iscsi2FcPortNumFCAddr	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.317.1.1.3.1.6	Unsigned32	read-create	The number of persistent port FC addresses that are automatically assigned to ports associated with this node. The fcAddressListTable contains the FC addresses that are assigned for the node represented by this entry. If the value of this object is 0, then the port FC addresses are not automatically assigned. Otherwise : - the entries in the fcAddressListTable corresponding to this automatic assignment as indicated by the object iscsi2FcPortFCAddrListIndex cannot be either modified or deleted. - new entries cannot be created in the fcAddressListTable with fcAddressListIndex which is equal to corresponding iscsi2FcPortFCAddrListIndex for this instance. - the corresponding iscsi2FcPortFCAddrListIndex cannot be changed. If the value of the object iscsi2FcPortPersistentFCAddr is 'false', then this object cannot be modified.
T/F iscsi2FcPortPersistentFCAddr	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.317.1.1.3.1.5	TruthValue	read-create	This object indicates if the port FC addresses (given by iscsi2FcPortFCAddrListIndex) of this node is made persistent or not. If this object is 'true', then the same FC address is assigned to the ports of the node if it were to be represented again in the FC domain with the same node name. Note that the port FC address is either automatically assigned or manually configured. If this object is 'false', then iscsi2FcPortNumFCAddr and iscsi2FcPortFCAddrListIndex are not valid as port FC addresses are dynamically assigned/released.
STR iscsi2FcTargetPassword	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.317.1.1.3.1.16	SnmpAdminString	read-create	The password to be used during the login authentication. This is optional. If no user name (specified by iscsi2FcTargetUserName )and password is specified, then the global username and password defined by iscsiTargetUserName and iscsiTargetPassword (respectively) is used. When read, it returns zero length string.
STR iscsi2FcTargetUserName	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.317.1.1.3.1.15	SnmpAdminString	read-create	The user name to be used during the login authentication. This is optional. If no user name and password (defined by iscsi2FcTargetPassword ) is specified, then the global username and password defined by iscsiTargetUserName and iscsiTargetPassword (respectively) are used.

scsiLuExtTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.317.1.1.8		not-accessible	An extension of the scsiLuTable to support creation of iSCSI virtual targets from LUs on remote FC targets. To create iSCSI virtual targets from a set of LUs on FC targets, entries needs to be created in this table. The iSCSI targets can be created in different ways. For example: - multiple iSCSI targets can be created from either one LU or a subset of LUs from a single FC target device. - a single iSCSI target can be created from LUs of multiple FC target devices. Note that a gateway implementation may choose to support only a subset of these features. To create a virtual iSCSI target from LUs on the remote FC targets, create an entry (s) in this table with local LUs to map to remote LUs and value of scsiLuExtLocalTargetAddress to same as the iSCSI node name of the virtual iSCSI node being created. A row in this table can not be made 'active' until a value is explicitly provided for that row's instances of following objects : - scsiLuExtRemotePortFcAddress - scsiLuExtLocalTargetAddress - scsiLuExtLocalLun - scsiLuExtRemoteLun Also, the following objects cannot be modified when 'scsiLuExtRowStatus 'active' : - scsiLuExtRemotePortFcAddress - scsiLuExtLocalTargetAddress - scsiLuExtLocalLun - scsiLuExtRemoteLun To modify the above objects, the entry must be deleted and re-created with new values of above objects.
