CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-IDENT-MIB

Description: Manages identity request FSMs and identity type assignments for Cisco UCS service profiles, tracking ID allocation lifecycle across managed objects

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.

CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-IDENT-MIB is part of Cisco's Unified Computing System (UCS) management information model, covering the "IDENT" package that tracks identity assignment for UCS service profiles — MAC address, WWN, and UUID pool allocations assigned to blade/rack server profiles. It exposes the state of identity request finite-state-machines (FSMs) and identity-context objects, including whether an identity has been assigned, which pool it was drawn from, and its consumer type/DN (distinguished name) within the UCS object model. Its relevance to hardware/software status monitoring centers on configuration/provisioning-state health: an identity context stuck in an unexpected FSM state, or showing cucsIdentIdentCtxAssigned as false when a server profile expects an assigned identity, indicates a provisioning failure that would prevent a server from booting or communicating correctly. It is explicitly part of the broader Cisco UCS MIB family and depends on the shared UCS management information model conventions (Dn/Rn naming, managed-object instance IDs) used across all cucs* MIBs. It is typically deployed on Cisco UCS Manager–controlled blade/rack server environments for auditing identity-pool consumption and diagnosing service-profile association problems. Engineers can download the CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-IDENT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

An operator would poll cucsIdentIdentCtxTable/cucsIdentIdentCtxEntry filtered by cucsIdentIdentCtxDn to check cucsIdentIdentCtxAssigned and cucsIdentIdentCtxIdentPoolName for a given service profile, confirming whether its MAC/WWN/UUID identity was successfully drawn from the expected pool. A cucsIdentIdentCtxIdentType/cucsIdentIdentCtxIntent mismatch, or an identity context that never transitions to assigned, would indicate an identity-pool exhaustion or provisioning problem blocking a server profile from completing association.
