Description: Dell EqualLogic storage member MIB for managing individual array member configuration, hardware, and performance statistics.

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 EQLMEMBER-MIB?

EQLMEMBER-MIB is a Dell EqualLogic MIB module for managing individual storage array 'members' within a Dell EqualLogic PS-series SAN group, covering member-level configuration, hardware identity, and time/network settings, and forming the basis for EQLMEMBER-MIB SNMP monitoring of each array member within the group. It exposes categories such as per-member identity and location (name, description, site, UUID), date/time and timezone/daylight-savings configuration, default network routing, and administrative row-status control for adding/removing a member from the group. Its monitoring relevance includes confirming a member array's software/configuration status is correct - checking eqlMemberDateAndTime and timezone settings for clock drift across a storage cluster, verifying eqlMemberDefaultRoute and network configuration are as expected, and using eqlMemberRowStatus to confirm a member is properly active within the group rather than in a transitional or failed state. It works alongside Dell EqualLogic's broader group- and volume-level MIBs (covering RAID, disk, and performance statistics) to give a complete SAN health picture, with this module providing the member-identity and administrative layer. It is deployed on Dell EqualLogic PS-series iSCSI SAN arrays in enterprise and mid-market data center storage environments.

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

  • Dell PowerStore 500T (2020) — current unified SAN/NAS array, successor line to the discontinued EqualLogic PS-series
  • Dell PowerVault ME5 — entry-level iSCSI/FC SAN array, successor line for simpler EqualLogic-class deployments

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll eqlMemberTable/eqlMemberEntry, keyed by eqlMemberIndex, checking eqlMemberName, eqlMemberSite, and eqlMemberUUID to confirm which physical array corresponds to a given group member, and eqlMemberDateAndTime/eqlMemberTimeZone to catch clock drift across members that could affect replication or logging correlation. eqlMemberRowStatus would be checked to verify a member is fully active in the storage group rather than stuck mid-add or mid-removal, and eqlMemberDefaultRoute audited to confirm the member's network path is correctly configured.

What Can Be Monitored

  • member identity (name, site, UUID)
  • date/time and timezone configuration
  • default route/network configuration
  • member row status (active/added/removed)

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using eqlMemberStatusAverageTemp OID:

Select a Dell EqualLogic PS-series iSCSI SAN storage array as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type eqlMemberStatusAverageTemp into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. It reports the average temperature of this storage array, in degrees Celsius. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is an Integer32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the reported value exceeds 40°C, since sustained high array temperature often precedes drive or component failure. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
