What Is CPQAPPLIANCE-MIB?

CPQAPPLIANCE-MIB is a Compaq (later HP) vendor MIB for server appliance products, exposing system-level status, firmware version, and subsystem health information consistent with the broader Compaq/HP Insight Management Agent family of MIBs. It covers general appliance health categories such as overall system status, firmware/software version identification, and the condition of key subsystems like power supplies, fans, and other internal components. This MIB is squarely focused on hardware and software status monitoring: it's the kind of module an operator polls to catch a failed fan, a degraded power supply, or a firmware mismatch before it leads to a service-affecting appliance failure. It follows the same conventions used across other Compaq/HP hardware-health MIBs (such as the broader CPQHOST/Insight Manager MIB family), even though it is not a formal IETF standard. It is deployed on Compaq/HP server appliances, such as NAS or thin server appliance products, in environments using Compaq Insight Manager-style monitoring. Engineers can download the CPQAPPLIANCE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CPQAPPLIANCE-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

Compaq/HP server appliances (e.g., NAS/thin server appliance products)

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll the appliance's overall system-status object to get a single health summary, then drill into subsystem-level objects for power supply and fan status if that summary indicates a problem. Checking the firmware-version object lets the admin confirm all appliances in a fleet are running a consistent, supported firmware release, flagging any unit that's fallen behind during a patch rollout.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
cpqApplianceMgmt	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.21
cpqApMibRev	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.21.1
INT cpqApMibRevMajor	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.21.1.1	INTEGER	read-only	The Major Revision level of the MIB. A change in the major revision level represents a major change in the architecture of the MIB. A change in the major revision level may indicate a significant change in the information supported and/or the meaning of the supported information, correct interpretation of data may require a MIB document with the same major revision level.
INT cpqApMibRevMinor	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.21.1.2	INTEGER	read-only	The Minor Revision level of the MIB. A change in the minor revision level may represent some minor additional support, no changes to any pre-existing information has occurred.
INT cpqApMibCondition	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.21.1.3	INTEGER	read-only	The overall condition of the Appliance MIB. This object represents the overall status of the Appliance MIB management system represented by this MIB.
cpqApComponent	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.21.2
cpqApInterface	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.21.2.1
cpqApOsCommon	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.21.2.1.4
INT cpqApOsCommonPollFreq	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.21.2.1.4.1	INTEGER	read-write	The Agent's polling frequency. The frequency, in seconds, at which the Agent requests information from. A frequency of zero indicates that the Agent retrieves the information upon request of a management station, it does not poll at a specific interval. If the poll frequency is zero (0) all attempts to write to this object will fail. If the poll frequency is non-zero, setting this value will change the polling frequency of the Agent. Setting the poll frequency to zero will always fail, an agent may also choose to fail any request to change the poll frequency to a value that would severely impact system performance.
cpqApConfig	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.21.2.2
INT cpqApApplianceId	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.21.2.2.1	INTEGER	read-only	A unique identifier of the Appliance. This can be used by management consoles to allow specific logic which pertains to the particular appliance. For example, this might be used to provide custom graphics for a particular appliance. Each appliance that needs differentiation will be give a different appliance ID.
STR cpqApApplianceDescription	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.21.2.2.2	DisplayString	read-only	The text description of this Appliance.
