CPQRPM-MIB

Description: Manages HP ProLiant Remote Power Management including remote power switching and outlet configuration.

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.

CPQRPM-MIB is a Compaq/HP MIB for Remote Power Management on ProLiant servers, providing SNMP-based control and status for switching server power remotely and configuring individual outlets on a managed power strip/PDU. It exposes objects for outlet/port identification, remote power-on/off/cycle control, and the corresponding power state of each managed outlet or server power feed. From a monitoring standpoint it is used to confirm the current power state (on/off) of each managed outlet and to verify that a remote power command was applied successfully, functioning as a hardware power-control/status module rather than a general sensor MIB. It is likely deployed alongside Compaq's broader server management MIB family (e.g., health/insight manager MIBs) that provide the rest of the ProLiant hardware status picture. It is typically used in data centers where administrators need out-of-band SNMP-based remote power cycling of ProLiant servers via managed power distribution hardware. Engineers can download the CPQRPM-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

No sample object names were supplied for this MIB, so specific OIDs cannot be cited here. Based on its stated purpose, an administrator would be expected to poll a per-outlet power-state object to confirm whether a given server's power feed is currently on or off, and use a corresponding control object to remotely power-cycle a hung server. This is a general characterization rather than a citation of confirmed object names.
