Description: H3C MIB for SAN aggregation management combining multiple Fibre Channel links for increased bandwidth in storage networks.

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-SAN-AGG-MIB?

H3C-SAN-AGG-MIB manages Storage Area Network (SAN) port aggregation on H3C Fibre Channel switches, allowing multiple FC links to be bonded into a single logical aggregation group for increased bandwidth and redundancy between SAN switches or between a switch and storage array. It exposes a group table for creating/deleting aggregation groups and controlling group size, along with per-group member-port lists and their individual link states, plus current vs. previous negotiated speed. This is chiefly a hardware/link-status MIB for SAN fabrics: it lets storage administrators confirm all member FC ports in an aggregation are up and running at consistent speed, and detects when a member port has dropped out via h3cSanAggNotifications. It is specific to Fibre Channel SAN technology and works alongside standard FC-related management conventions rather than depending on a single IETF MIB. It's deployed on H3C Fibre Channel/SAN switches in storage networking environments requiring high-bandwidth, redundant links to storage arrays or SAN cores, making H3C-SAN-AGG-MIB SNMP monitoring a standard part of SAN fabric health checks.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in H3C-SAN-AGG-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 admin would poll h3cSanAggGroupTable/h3cSanAggGroupEntry (indexed by h3cSanAggGroupIndex) to review h3cSanAggMemberList and the parallel h3cSanAggMemberStateList, checking whether every listed FC port shows an "up" state — if one member is down, the aggregation's effective bandwidth has silently dropped. Comparing h3cSanAggGroupPreviousSpeed to h3cSanAggGroupCurrentSpeed reveals whether the aggregate link speed changed, and h3cSanAggNotifications would trigger an SNMP trap so staff are alerted without needing to continuously poll h3cSanAggGroupRowStatus.

What Can Be Monitored

aggregation group member port list
per-member link state
aggregate group current/previous speed
aggregation group row status
max members per group

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
h3cSanAgg	1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.10.2.127.2			This MIB module is for configuring and monitoring SAN (Storage Area Networks) aggregation group related MIB objects. This MIB can be used to add or delete a SAN aggregation group, and make one or more FC (Fiber Channel) ports join or leave the group, as well as show their states.
h3cSanAggMibObjects	1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.10.2.127.2.1
I32 h3cSanAggMaxMemberNumber	1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.10.2.127.2.1.1	Integer32	read-only	This value specifies the maximum member number that a SAN aggregation group supports, and this restriction depends on product customization.
h3cSanAggGroupTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.10.2.127.2.2		not-accessible	A table of SAN aggregation objects to be used in configuring and monitoring a SAN aggregation group and its members.
h3cSanAggGroupEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.10.2.127.2.2.1		not-accessible	A group of SAN aggregation objects to be used in configuring and monitoring a SAN aggregation group and its members.
I32 h3cSanAggGroupNumber	1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.10.2.127.2.2.1.1	Integer32	accessible-for-notify	The serial number of the current SAN aggregation group.
I32 h3cSanAggGroupIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.10.2.127.2.2.1.2	Integer32	read-only	The ifIndex of the current SAN aggregation group.
H3C h3cSanAggMemberList	1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.10.2.127.2.2.1.3	H3cMemberList	read-create	List of member's ifIndex in the current SAN aggregation group. If there is no member in the SAN aggregation group, the list length should be zero. Otherwise each member's ifIndex value occupies 4 octets. The greatest length of this list depends on the maximum number of members a SAN aggregation group supports, which can be customized and therefore is not a fixed value. When getting the group members' ifIndexes, the result was sorted in ascending order of ifIndex values. However, when setting the group members' ifIndexes, the sequence of ifIndex values is not required.
H3C h3cSanAggMemberStateList	1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.10.2.127.2.2.1.4	H3cMemberList	read-only	List of member's state in current SAN aggregation group, where the state value is sorted in ascending order of member's ifIndex, which is consistent with the 'get' result of 'h3cSanAggMemberList'. The explanation of this value's length is as same as the 'h3cSanAggMemberList'. Each member's state value occupies 4 octets. The value specifications are listed as follows: 1: This member hasn't passed the link negotiation. 2: This member has passed the link negotiation but has not been selected. 3: This member has been selected.
ROW h3cSanAggGroupRowStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.10.2.127.2.2.1.5	RowStatus	read-create	RowStatus. Now only three states are supported: createAndGo, active, and destroy.
h3cSanAggObjForNotification	1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.10.2.127.2.3
I32 h3cSanAggGroupPreviousSpeed	1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.10.2.127.2.3.1	Integer32	accessible-for-notify	The previous speed of the SAN aggregation group.
I32 h3cSanAggGroupCurrentSpeed	1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.10.2.127.2.3.2	Integer32	accessible-for-notify	The current speed of the SAN aggregation group.
h3cSanAggNotifications	1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.10.2.127.2.4
h3cSanAggNotificationPrefix	1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.10.2.127.2.4.0
NTF h3cSanAggGroupSpeedChange	1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.10.2.127.2.4.0.1			This event will be triggered whenever a SAN aggregation group changes its speed.
NTF h3cSanAggMemberInactive	1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.10.2.127.2.4.0.2			This event will be triggered whenever any member in a SAN aggregation group is made inactive.
NTF h3cSanAggMemberActive	1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.10.2.127.2.4.0.3			This event will be triggered whenever any member in a SAN aggregation group is made active.
