Description: Dell EqualLogic tag MIB providing classification and labeling objects for organizing storage volumes and resources.

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 EQLTAG-MIB?

This is a Dell EqualLogic enterprise MIB that lets administrators attach arbitrary classification tags (key/value labels) to objects on a PS-series storage array, such as volumes or other manageable resources, for organizational and grouping purposes. It exposes a general tag table (type, index, value, description) plus a tag-object mapping table that associates a tag with a specific tagged object via a pointer. Its monitoring relevance is primarily configuration-state rather than performance: an administrator can audit which tags exist and which storage objects/volumes they've been applied to, useful for verifying that automated provisioning or grouping tools have correctly tagged resources (e.g., by application, tenant, or environment). It also exposes notifications (eqltagNotifications) so tag additions/changes can be tracked as configuration events. It is a standalone Dell/EqualLogic enterprise MIB with no dependency on external standard MIBs. It is deployed on Dell EqualLogic PS-series iSCSI storage arrays for storage resource organization and management automation. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the EQLTAG-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in EQLTAG-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.

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would enumerate eqlTagTable/eqlTagEntry (via eqlTagIndex, eqlTagType, eqlTagValue) to audit all tags defined on the array, then cross-reference eqlTagObjectTable/eqlTagObjectEntry's eqlTagObjectTaggedObjectPointer to confirm a specific volume has been tagged with the expected classification (e.g. environment=production). eqlTagRowStatus would be checked to confirm a tag entry is active rather than left in a not-ready state after a failed provisioning script run.

What Can Be Monitored

tag-to-object associations

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
eqltagModule	1.3.6.1.4.1.12740.23			Equallogic Inc. tag information Copyright (c) 2002-2011 by Dell, Inc. All rights reserved. This software may not be copied, disclosed, transferred, or used except in accordance with a license granted by Dell, Inc. This software embodies proprietary information and trade secrets of Dell, Inc.
eqltagObjects	1.3.6.1.4.1.12740.23.1
eqlTagTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.12740.23.1.1		not-accessible	EqualLogic-Persistent This table maintains the list of tags. For every tag, there is a row in this table. This table supports multiple types of tags. Initially the only supported tag type is 'folder'. Subsequently clients can add other types of tags, and clients can add tags of the new tag types to this table. Clients can walk this table to get all tags, or can maintain the first index constant (tag type) to get all tags type. For example, the client can walk this table to get all folder tags.
eqlTagEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.12740.23.1.1.1		not-accessible	An entry in the tag table.
INT eqlTagType	1.3.6.1.4.1.12740.23.1.1.1.1	INTEGER	not-accessible	This field specifies the type of this tag. A typical tag type is folder. Tag type enumeration values from 0 to 9,999 are reserved for internal use. When user defined tag types are supported, the user defined tag enumerated values start at 10,000.
U32 eqlTagIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.12740.23.1.1.1.2	Unsigned32	not-accessible	The index of the tag, included only because the MIB compiler fails without it, so this is a workaround.
ROW eqlTagRowStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.12740.23.1.1.1.3	RowStatus	read-create	Row status used to manage this row.
STR eqlTagValue	1.3.6.1.4.1.12740.23.1.1.1.4	UTFString	read-write	This field specifies the value of the tag. For folders, this value is the name of the folder. The tag value can be up to 63 characters plus NULL.
U32 eqlTagAdminAccountKey	1.3.6.1.4.1.12740.23.1.1.1.5	Unsigned32	read-write	This field specifies the unique key for identifying a volume administrator that owns this tag. If no account has this value as its eqlStorageGroupAdminAccountKey, then the tag is unassigned.
STR eqlTagValueDescription	1.3.6.1.4.1.12740.23.1.1.1.6	UTFString	read-write	This field specifies a descriptive string that provides details about this tag. The description can be up to 127 characters plus NULL.
eqlTagObjectTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.12740.23.1.2		not-accessible	EqualLogic-Persistent This table maintains an association between tags and objects. Clients can use this table to determine for a given tag, which objects are associated with the tag. When the tag is a folder, it lists the objects that are in the folder.
eqlTagObjectEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.12740.23.1.2.1		not-accessible	An entry in the tag object table.
U32 eqlTagObjectIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.12740.23.1.2.1.1	Unsigned32	not-accessible	The index of the tag to object, included only because the MIB compiler fails without it, so this is a workaround.
NUM eqlTagObjectTaggedObjectPointer	1.3.6.1.4.1.12740.23.1.2.1.2	RowPointer	read-write	The authoritative identification for the MIB object to tag.
ROW eqlTagObjectRowStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.12740.23.1.2.1.3	RowStatus	read-create	Row status used to manage this row.
eqlAdminAccountTagTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.12740.23.1.3		not-accessible	EqualLogic-Dynamic This table has a row for every admin that has read or read-write access to a tag. If an admin does not have access to tag X, there is no row in the table with index 1.admin.X. Clients can walk this table to get all tags that an admin can access.
eqlAdminAccountTagEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.12740.23.1.3.1		not-accessible	An entry in the tag table.
INT eqlAdminAccountTagAccess	1.3.6.1.4.1.12740.23.1.3.1.1	INTEGER	read-only	The administrative permission to a tag.
eqlVolumeTagTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.12740.23.1.4		not-accessible	EqualLogic-Dynamic Stores which tags reference a particular volume. Clients can walk this table, and for each volume, get the tags that reference this volume.
eqlVolumeTagEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.12740.23.1.4.1		not-accessible	An entry in the volume tag table.
STR eqlVolumeTagValue	1.3.6.1.4.1.12740.23.1.4.1.1	UTFString	read-write	This field specifies the value of the tag. For folders, this value is the name of the folder. The tag value can be up to 63 characters plus NULL.
eqltagNotifications	1.3.6.1.4.1.12740.23.2
eqltagConformance	1.3.6.1.4.1.12740.23.3
