Description: Manages iSCSI authentication profiles and boot policies for Cisco UCS servers initiating iSCSI connections to IP-based SAN storage targets
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-ISCSI-MIB?
CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-ISCSI-MIB is part of the Cisco UCS Manager MIB suite and manages iSCSI authentication (CHAP) profiles and boot policies used when UCS servers initiate iSCSI sessions to IP-based SAN storage targets. It exposes configuration objects covering authentication credentials (user ID, password, mutual CHAP password) and policy-level settings such as inheritance level. Because iSCSI boot is often on the critical path for booting a server's operating system, this MIB's monitoring value lies in confirming authentication profiles are correctly and consistently configured across service profiles, helping catch a misconfigured or missing credential before it causes iSCSI boot failures. It depends on the broader UCS Manager managed-object model and typically works alongside boot-policy and vNIC MIBs. It is deployed in UCS environments where blade/rack servers boot from iSCSI-attached storage rather than local disk or Fibre Channel, and administrators often consult the CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-ISCSI-MIB MIB Browser view to confirm CHAP profile bindings before a boot attempt.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-ISCSI-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 Manager (blade and rack servers)
Monitoring Examples
cucsIscsiAuthProfileTable/cucsIscsiAuthProfileEntry exposes cucsIscsiAuthProfileName, cucsIscsiAuthProfileUserId, and cucsIscsiAuthProfilePolicyLevel, letting an admin verify which CHAP profile is bound to a service profile's iSCSI boot configuration. Because the password fields are populated, an operator can also confirm a profile isn't left with a blank or default credential, which would leave iSCSI boot authentication insecure or failing.
What Can Be Monitored
- iSCSI CHAP authentication profile configuration
- profile-to-service-profile binding
- policy inheritance level
- credential presence/consistency
