CPQSASSWITCH-MIB

Description: Manages HP SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) switch interconnects, port status, and fabric configuration for ProLiant servers.

CPQSASSWITCH-MIB is a Compaq/HP ProLiant server-management MIB for monitoring SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) switch interconnect modules used to fan out storage connectivity between servers and SAS storage enclosures in ProLiant server/storage deployments. It belongs to the storage-fabric hardware-management category, exposing configuration and status objects for the SAS switch itself, its physical/logical ports, and fabric zoning. Its core monitoring value is hardware status: it reveals whether the SAS switch is healthy and whether individual switch ports/links to storage or hosts are up, functioning, or degraded, which is critical for diagnosing storage-connectivity faults before they cause application-level disk failures. It is part of the Compaq/HP Insight Manager family of enterprise MIBs and is designed to be polled alongside other CPQ* server-health MIBs, such as CPQUPS-MIB and CPQ-TRAPS-MIB, for a full hardware picture. It is deployed in HP ProLiant server clusters using shared SAS storage enclosures, typically monitored by HP Systems Insight Manager or a general-purpose NMS via SNMP. Engineers can download the CPQSASSWITCH-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

No module description or sample object list is available for this entry, so exact object names cannot be confirmed. Based on its stated purpose, an admin would typically poll the SAS switch's per-port status table to verify each port linking a server HBA or a storage enclosure is operationally up, and would investigate a port reporting a link-down or degraded state as a probable cable, HBA, or enclosure fault, but no specific table/object names can be responsibly cited without inventing them.
