Description: H3C MIB for Fabric Device Management Interface (FDMI) managing HBA attributes registered with the fabric.

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 H3C-FDMI-MIB?

H3C-FDMI-MIB is an H3C proprietary MIB implementing the Fibre Channel Generic Services-6 Fabric Device Management Interface (FDMI), used to retrieve identifying and version information about Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) registered with a Fibre Channel SAN fabric. It exposes an HBA information table keyed by fabric index and HBA ID, holding node name, manufacturer, serial number, model and model description, hardware version, driver version, and option ROM firmware version. This is explicitly useful for software/firmware inventory monitoring: h3cFdmiHbaInfoHwVer, h3cFdmiHbaInfoDriverVer, and h3cFdmiHbaInfoOptROMVer let an administrator audit HBA firmware/driver versions across a fabric for compliance or troubleshooting. It directly implements the Fibre Channel Generic Services-6 FDMI standard referenced in its module description, so it depends on that FC-GS-6 specification for its data model. It is deployed on H3C Fibre Channel switches that participate in SAN fabrics where FDMI-registered HBAs need to be inventoried. Engineers can download the H3C-FDMI-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in H3C-FDMI-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

  • H3C Fibre Channel switch (SAN fabric)

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll h3cFdmiHbaInfoTable/h3cFdmiHbaInfoEntry (indexed by h3cFdmiHbaInfoFabricIndex and h3cFdmiHbaInfoId) to check h3cFdmiHbaInfoMfg, h3cFdmiHbaInfoModel, and h3cFdmiHbaInfoDriverVer, spotting HBAs still running an outdated h3cFdmiHbaInfoOptROMVer that needs a firmware upgrade. h3cFdmiHbaInfoSn provides the serial number needed to cross-reference a specific physical adapter during a hardware replacement.

What Can Be Monitored

  • HBA manufacturer and model
  • HBA serial number
  • HBA hardware version
  • HBA driver version
  • HBA option ROM/firmware version
