Description: Manages Multitenant Device Context (MDC) virtualization partitions on HP/Comware high-end 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 HPN-ICF-MDC-MIB?

HPN-ICF-MDC-MIB is an HP/H3C Comware private MIB for managing Multitenant Device Contexts (MDCs), a virtualization feature that partitions a single high-end chassis into multiple logically independent virtual devices. It exposes objects for creating, naming, and controlling MDC instances, tracking the maximum and current number of MDCs supported, and assigning CPU, storage/disk, and memory resources to each partition. This MIB is squarely about software/hardware resource status: it lets an administrator monitor how many MDCs exist versus the device's maximum, each MDC's operational status, and its allocated disk resource usage, effectively tracking virtualized device-health resource consumption. Because MDCs also authorize physical interface cards to specific partitions, this MIB has an implicit dependency on chassis/entity and interface-related MIBs for identifying the underlying hardware being assigned. It is deployed on large HP/H3C Comware core switches/routers used for multi-tenant or multi-department network virtualization, and administrators can download the HPN-ICF-MDC-MIB file to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HPN-ICF-MDC-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 operator polls hpnicfMDCCurrentMDCNum against hpnicfMDCMaxMDCNum to see how much virtualization headroom remains on the chassis, then walks hpnicfMDCControlTable (indexed by hpnicfMDCIndex) to check each hpnicfMDCName and hpnicfMDCStatus. If hpnicfMDCStatus shows a partition stuck in a transitional state after an hpnicfMDCAction request, that signals a failed MDC creation or resource assignment. Checking hpnicfMDCDISKResourceTable per hpnicfMDCDISKResourceInstance reveals whether a specific MDC is approaching its allotted disk quota.

per-MDC operational status

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
hpnicfMDC	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.136			This MIB contains objects to manage MDC (Multitenant Device Context) operations. Such as: 1. Configure MDCs for a device and display MDCs and their status. 2. Assign CPU, storage space, and memory space resources to the MDC, and display their status. 3. Authorize the MDC to use the interface cards, and assign physical interfaces to an MDC. Default MDC: A device supporting MDCs is an MDC itself, and it is called the default MDC. From the default MDC, administrators can manage the entire physical device, create and delete non-default MDCs, and assign interfaces, CPU resources, storage space, and memory space to non-default MDCs. Non-default MDC: No MDCs can be created on a non-default MDC. Administrators of non-default MDCs can only manage and maintain their respective MDCs. A non-default MDC can use only the resources assigned to it.

All physical interfaces on the device belong to the default MDC, and a non-default MDC has no physical interfaces to use. Multiple physical interfaces can be assigned to a non-default MDC. A physical interface must meet the following conditions to be assigned to a non-default MDC: 1. Belongs to the default MDC. 2. Not the console or AUX port. 3. Not the management Ethernet interface. 4. Not in an interface group with an interface assigned to another MDC. 5. The default MDC uses only the physical interfaces that are not assigned to a non-default MDC. Non-default MDC cannot set this table.
