Description: Manages SAN aggregation switch port groups and inter-switch link configuration on HP/Comware FC 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-SAN-AGG-MIB?

HPN-ICF-SAN-AGG-MIB is an HP Networking (Comware/H3C) vendor MIB for Fibre Channel SAN switches, managing SAN aggregation groups that bundle multiple FC ports together as a single logical inter-switch link for higher bandwidth and redundancy, analogous to Ethernet link aggregation but for Fibre Channel. It exposes a group table recording each aggregation group's member port list, per-member operational state list, previous and current negotiated link speed, and row status for adding/removing groups, plus a global maximum-members-per-group limit and notification objects for group events. For hardware/software status monitoring, the member-state list and current-versus-previous speed fields are the key health indicators, letting an operator detect a member FC link that has dropped out of the aggregation group or renegotiated to a lower speed, either of which reduces the aggregate group's effective bandwidth. It is specific to Fibre Channel inter-switch link aggregation concepts rather than an extension of a common IETF MIB. It is deployed on HP/H3C Comware Fibre Channel SAN switches interconnected via multiple parallel FC links for storage-network resiliency and throughput. Engineers can download the HPN-ICF-SAN-AGG-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HPN-ICF-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 administrator would poll hpnicfSanAggGroupTable (via hpnicfSanAggGroupIndex) and inspect hpnicfSanAggMemberList alongside hpnicfSanAggMemberStateList to confirm every configured member port of an aggregation group is up and participating, catching a member that has silently dropped out. Comparing hpnicfSanAggGroupCurrentSpeed against hpnicfSanAggGroupPreviousSpeed would reveal a link that renegotiated to a lower speed, reducing aggregate throughput, and hpnicfSanAggMaxMemberNumber would be checked when planning to add a new port to ensure the group hasn't hit its member limit. hpnicfSanAggNotifications would fire when a member's state changes, prompting immediate investigation.

What Can Be Monitored

aggregation group member port list
per-member operational state
current vs. previous link speed
maximum members per group

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
hpnicfSanAgg	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.2			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.
hpnicfSanAggMibObjects	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.2.1
I32 hpnicfSanAggMaxMemberNumber	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.2.1.1	Integer32	read-only	This value specifies the maximum member number that a SAN aggregation group supports, and this restriction depends on product customization.
hpnicfSanAggGroupTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.2.2		not-accessible	A table of SAN aggregation objects to be used in configuring and monitoring a SAN aggregation group and its members.
hpnicfSanAggGroupEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.2.2.1		not-accessible	A group of SAN aggregation objects to be used in configuring and monitoring a SAN aggregation group and its members.
I32 hpnicfSanAggGroupNumber	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.2.2.1.1	Integer32	accessible-for-notify	The serial number of the current SAN aggregation group.
I32 hpnicfSanAggGroupIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.2.2.1.2	Integer32	read-only	The ifIndex of the current SAN aggregation group.
HPN hpnicfSanAggMemberList	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.2.2.1.3	HpnicfMemberList	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.
HPN hpnicfSanAggMemberStateList	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.2.2.1.4	HpnicfMemberList	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 'hpnicfSanAggMemberList'. The explanation of this value's length is as same as the 'hpnicfSanAggMemberList'. 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 hpnicfSanAggGroupRowStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.2.2.1.5	RowStatus	read-create	RowStatus. Now only three states are supported: createAndGo, active, and destroy.
hpnicfSanAggObjForNotification	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.2.3
I32 hpnicfSanAggGroupPreviousSpeed	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.2.3.1	Integer32	accessible-for-notify	The previous speed of the SAN aggregation group.
I32 hpnicfSanAggGroupCurrentSpeed	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.2.3.2	Integer32	accessible-for-notify	The current speed of the SAN aggregation group.
hpnicfSanAggNotifications	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.2.4
hpnicfSanAggNotificationPrefix	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.2.4.0
NTF hpnicfSanAggGroupSpeedChange	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.2.4.0.1			This event will be triggered whenever a SAN aggregation group changes its speed.
NTF hpnicfSanAggMemberInactive	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.2.4.0.2			This event will be triggered whenever any member in a SAN aggregation group is made inactive.
NTF hpnicfSanAggMemberActive	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.2.4.0.3			This event will be triggered whenever any member in a SAN aggregation group is made active.
