Description: H3C MIB for Virtual SAN (VSAN) management enabling logical fabric partitioning in Fibre Channel SAN switches.

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-VSAN-MIB?

H3C-VSAN-MIB is H3C's vendor MIB for configuring and monitoring Virtual SAN (VSAN) logical partitioning on H3C Fibre Channel switches, enabling a single physical SAN fabric to be divided into multiple isolated virtual fabrics. It exposes VSAN membership, core switch identity, and Fibre Channel domain-manager configuration objects that determine how each virtual fabric is provisioned and how domain IDs are allocated within it. From a monitoring standpoint, H3C-VSAN-MIB SNMP monitoring is used to verify the software-level configuration state of the SAN fabric—row status, domain configuration enablement, and priority settings act as health indicators for fabric provisioning rather than physical sensors like temperature or fans. It is structurally identical to HPN-ICF-VSAN-MIB and HH3C-VSAN-MIB, reflecting a shared underlying Comware/ICF codebase across H3C's own and its OEM-derived (HP, Huawei-Symantec-era) switch lines. It is deployed in H3C Fibre Channel SAN switches within enterprise and service-provider data centers.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in H3C-VSAN-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 CN3660B — current Fibre Channel SAN switch, 8/16/24 ports at up to 32 Gbps
  • H3C CN3360B — compact 1U Fibre Channel switch, 8-24 ports

Monitoring Examples

An admin would poll h3cVsanTable/h3cVsanEntry, indexed by h3cVsanIndex, checking h3cVsanCoreSwitchName and h3cVsanRowStatus to confirm each VSAN is active with the expected core switch designated. The h3cVsanDmTable/h3cVsanDmEntry rows expose h3cVsanDmDomainConfigureEnable, h3cVsanDmFabricNameConfigured, and h3cVsanDmPriorityConfigured, useful for diagnosing fabric merge conflicts when two switches disagree on fabric name or domain priority. h3cVsanDmAllowedDomainIdList lets an operator confirm domain ID ranges are correctly scoped per VSAN to avoid ID collisions.

What Can Be Monitored

  • VSAN row status/existence
  • core switch assignment
  • domain manager configuration enable
  • fabric name configuration
  • domain priority
  • allowed domain ID range
