Description: Manages flash storage devices on H3C platforms, providing file system operations and capacity monitoring.

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 HH3C-FLASH-MAN-MIB?

This is an H3C enterprise MIB (Huawei-3Com/HPE Networking heritage) for managing flash storage cards and flash card operations on H3C network devices. It exposes a flash inventory table (hh3cFlashTable/hh3cFlashEntry) keyed by hh3cFlhIndex, with per-flash-device attributes such as size (hh3cFlhSize), position/slot (hh3cFlhPos), name and description (hh3cFlhName, hh3cFlhDescr), chip count, initialization time, removability, and whether it is partitioned. It is used directly for monitoring hardware status—confirming how many flash devices are present (hh3cFlhSupportNum), their capacity, and whether a removable flash card has been inserted/removed or a device is running low on partitioned space—important for devices that store configuration and boot images on flash. As an H3C enterprise MIB it typically complements the standard storage-related objects but adds vendor-specific flash-card detail not covered by generic MIBs. It is deployed on H3C switches and routers that use removable or fixed flash storage for firmware, configuration, and boot files. Engineers can download the HH3C-FLASH-MAN-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HH3C-FLASH-MAN-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 switches and routers

Monitoring Examples

An admin would poll hh3cFlashTable/hh3cFlashEntry to read hh3cFlhSize and hh3cFlhPos for each flash card indexed by hh3cFlhIndex, checking hh3cFlhRemovable and hh3cFlhPartitionBool to understand storage layout. A drop in the count reported by hh3cFlhSupportNum, or a missing entry for a previously known hh3cFlhIndex, would indicate a flash card was physically removed or failed, which could jeopardize the device's ability to boot or save configuration.

What Can Be Monitored

number of installed flash devices
flash card size/capacity
flash card slot position
flash card removable/partition status
flash initialization time

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hh3cFlhChipWriteTimes OID:

Select an H3C switch/router (flash storage card management) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type hh3cFlhChipWriteTimes into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. It reports a count of write times (retries) for the flash chip since initialization. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases between polls, since a rising count of errors, failures, or discards often points to a real underlying problem. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
