Description: Manages iSCSI Qualified Name (IQN) pools and block ranges for automated iSCSI initiator identity assignment in Cisco UCS service profiles

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-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-IQNPOOL-MIB?

This MIB is part of Cisco's Unified Computing System (UCS) management information model and covers the IQNPOOL package, which manages iSCSI Qualified Name (IQN) pools and address block ranges used to automatically assign iSCSI initiator identities to UCS service profiles. It exposes configuration and inventory-style data describing IQN address pools, individual assigned/unassigned IQN addresses, block ranges, and pool ownership, reflecting UCS's model-driven management information tree where each object carries a distinguished name (Dn) and relative name (Rn). Rather than classic hardware sensors, this MIB is used for monitoring the software-managed identity-assignment status of iSCSI initiators — tracking how many IQN addresses are assigned versus defined in a pool (via global assigned/defined counts) helps administrators detect pool exhaustion before it blocks new service profile deployments. It depends on the broader Cisco UCS MIB framework's common managed-object conventions shared across other UCS MIB modules. It is typically deployed in Cisco UCS blade/rack server environments using iSCSI boot or storage, where CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-IQNPOOL-MIB SNMP monitoring helps confirm service profiles retain unique IQN identities.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-IQNPOOL-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 UCS blade server
  • Cisco UCS rack server
  • Cisco UCS Manager-managed chassis

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll cucsIqnpoolAddrTable/cucsIqnpoolAddrEntry to see individual IQN addresses, checking cucsIqnpoolAddrAssigned and cucsIqnpoolAddrAssignedToDn to determine which service profile (identified by cucsIqnpoolAddrOwner) currently holds a given address. Comparing cucsIqnpoolAddrGlobalAssignedCnt against cucsIqnpoolAddrGlobalDefinedCnt across a pool reveals how close the pool is to exhaustion, which would explain new service profile associations failing to obtain an IQN. The related cucsIqnpoolBlockTable defines the underlying address ranges from which the pool draws.

What Can Be Monitored

  • IQN address assignment status
  • IQN pool assigned count
  • IQN pool defined count
  • IQN block range configuration
  • pool ownership by service profile
