What Is CPQSANEVENT-MIB?
CPQSANEVENT-MIB is a vendor-specific SNMP module from Compaq/HP providing SAN event notifications for storage array appliances, focused on trap-style alerting rather than polled state tables. It defines a SAN appliance event object structure used to signal conditions such as storage array faults, path failures, and configuration changes within the SAN fabric. Its monitoring value is centered on hardware fault/status reporting: it lets administrators receive near-real-time notifications when a SAN appliance detects a fault, a redundant path failure, or an unexpected configuration change, which is critical for catching storage availability issues quickly. As a Compaq-branded SAN appliance MIB, it complements the CPQHSV-family array controller MIBs by providing the event/trap side of SAN monitoring. It is typically deployed in enterprise data centers running HP/Compaq SAN appliances where trap-based alerting supplements periodic polling of array status. Engineers can download the CPQSANEVENT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CPQSANEVENT-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
- HP/Compaq SAN appliance (StorageWorks)
Monitoring Examples
An administrator's trap receiver would process events from the sanEvent/sanEventObj objects under cpqSanAppliance to detect a reported storage array fault, a lost redundant path, or a configuration change on the SAN appliance; because the supplied sample objects are limited to import/identity placeholders rather than full event tables, exact object-level detail such as event severity fields cannot be grounded further from the given material.
What Can Be Monitored
- SAN appliance fault events
- storage path failure events
- SAN configuration change events
