Description: Manages Hitachi 9900 series enterprise storage arrays, covering volume, controller, and cache performance metrics.

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 HDS9900MIB?

HDS9900MIB is a Hitachi Data Systems MIB for managing the Hitachi 9900 series (Lightning/Freedom series) enterprise storage arrays, focused on the array's Hierarchical Storage Manager (HSM) automatic data migration feature. It exposes objects describing the automatic migration class, migration plan, and migration history used by the array's tiered-storage/data-migration engine. Its monitoring value is centered on storage software/process status: tracking migration class and plan configuration alongside migration history lets an administrator verify that automated data tiering between storage classes is executing as scheduled and completing successfully, functioning as a job/process status monitor for the array's HSM feature rather than a raw performance-counter MIB. No module description text was available beyond the object names themselves, and no explicit dependency on another standard MIB is indicated. It is typically deployed by storage administrators managing Hitachi 9900 series enterprise SAN arrays performing automated tiered storage migration, and administrators can download the HDS9900MIB file to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HDS9900MIB. 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

  • Hitachi 9900 series (Lightning/Freedom) enterprise storage arrays

Monitoring Examples

An operator would check hihsmAutomaticMigrationClass and hihsmAutomaticMigrationPlan to confirm the storage array's tiering policy is configured as expected, then review hihsmAutomaticMigrationHistory to verify recent automatic migration jobs completed successfully. An absence of new entries in hihsmAutomaticMigrationHistory during an expected migration window would reveal that the automatic migration process has stalled or failed to run on schedule.

What Can Be Monitored

  • automatic migration class configuration
  • automatic migration plan configuration
  • migration job history/completion status
