Description: Manages Virtual SAN (VSAN) fabric isolation and membership on HP/Comware Fibre Channel 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-VSAN-MIB?

HPN-ICF-VSAN-MIB is an HP (Comware/ICF-based) vendor MIB for configuring and monitoring Virtual SAN (VSAN) fabric isolation on HP Fibre Channel switches, allowing a single physical FC fabric to be logically partitioned into multiple isolated VSANs. It exposes configuration objects for VSAN membership, core switch identity, and domain manager settings, all registered under the HPN-ICF-VSAN-MIB OID branch, that control how Fibre Channel domains are assigned within each VSAN. Its monitoring value is primarily around configuration/state correctness of the storage fabric—hpnicfVsanRowStatus and the domain-manager table reveal whether a VSAN is correctly provisioned and whether domain ID allocation is functioning, which is critical to SAN fabric software health rather than physical hardware sensors. It shares an essentially identical object structure with H3C/HH3C's equivalent VSAN MIBs, reflecting the common ICF/Comware codebase across HP's H3C-derived and HP-branded switch lines. It is deployed in HP Fibre Channel SAN switches used in enterprise data center storage fabrics.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HPN-ICF-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

Monitoring Examples

An admin would query hpnicfVsanTable/hpnicfVsanEntry, keyed by hpnicfVsanIndex, to confirm hpnicfVsanCoreSwitchName and hpnicfVsanRowStatus show the VSAN as active and correctly assigned a core switch. The hpnicfVsanDmTable/hpnicfVsanDmEntry rows expose hpnicfVsanDmDomainConfigureEnable, hpnicfVsanDmFabricNameConfigured, and hpnicfVsanDmPriorityConfigured, letting an operator verify domain manager priority and fabric naming are consistent across switches in the fabric—a mismatch here is a common cause of SAN fabric merge failures. hpnicfVsanDmAllowedDomainIdList would be checked to ensure domain ID ranges don't overlap between VSANs.

What Can Be Monitored

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

hpnicfVsan	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.1
HPN hpnicfVsanCoreSwitchName	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.1.1.1.1.1.2	HpnicfFcNameIdOrZero	read-only	The Core Switch_Name of the VSAN, which is indicated by the switch's WWN(World Wide Name).
HPN hpnicfVsanDmAllowedDomainIdList	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.1.1.1.2.1.4	HpnicfFcDomainIdList	read-write	Specifies the list of domain IDs that are allowed in the VSAN, and the configuration has different meanings in different scenarios: 1. Principal switch: Can only assign domains IDs within the allowed domain ID list. If the allowed domain ID list configured does not include any of the already assigned domain IDs or manually configured domain IDs, the configuration will fail. 2. Non-principal switch: The manually configured domain ID must be within the allowed domain ID list, or the configuration will fail. Besides, the domain ID assigned by principal switch must within the allowed domain ID list, or the switch will refuse the assigned domain ID and isolate the upstream interface. If the runtime domain ID for a switch is beyond the new configured ID list, the configuration will fail. The default value is a zero-length octet string. If This value is set with zero-length, the configuration will be cancelled in this VSAN.

hpnicfVsanDmConfiguration	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.1.1.1
HPN hpnicfVsanDmDatabaseDomainId	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.1.1.2.1.1.1	HpnicfFcDomainId	not-accessible	The Domain ID which has been assigned.
hpnicfVsanDmDatabaseEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.1.1.2.1.1		not-accessible	An object in the hpnicfVsanDmDatabaseTable contains one Domain ID and the corresponding WWN of the switch in one VSAN.
HPN hpnicfVsanDmDatabaseSwitchWWN	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.1.1.2.1.1.2	HpnicfFcNameId	read-only	The WWN of the switch to which the corresponding Domain ID has been assigned in the particular VSAN.

NTF hpnicfVsanDmDomainIdChangeNotify	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.1.1.3.0.4			This event will be triggered if the Domain ID of the local switch changed in a VSAN.
T/F hpnicfVsanDmDomainIdChangeNotifyEnable	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.1.1.3.1.2	TruthValue	read-write	Specifies whether the hpnicfVsanDmDomainIdChangeNotify can be sent when the Domain ID of the local switch changed in a VSAN.
HPN hpnicfVsanDmDomainIdConfigured	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.1.1.1.2.1.5	HpnicfFcDomainIdOrZero	read-write	Used to configure or cancel a domain ID for a switch in this VSAN. When this value is not zero, the domain ID type should be specified together via hpnicfVsanDmDomainIdTypeConfigured, or the default value of preferred type will be taken. The zero value is used to cancel the domain ID configured, and then, there is no need to specify its type. When statically build a fabric, the configured domain ID is the actual domain ID of the switch. If this object is not manually configured, the switch will isolate all of its E_ports in this VSAN no matter what domain ID type is configured. When dynamically build a fabric, the configured domain ID is desired by the switch, but the domain ID assigned to the switch may not be the desired one. If a non-principal switch fails to obtain any domain ID from the principal switch, the non-principal switch will isolate the upstream link. If a non-principal switch obtains a domain ID from the principal switch other than the desired one, different actions will be taken according to different domain ID type configured: - If configured static type, The non-principal switch will isolate the upstream link and refuse other domain IDs assigned by the principal switch. - If configured preferred type, the non-principal switch will use the domain ID assigned by the principal switch.
NTF hpnicfVsanDmDomainIdNotAssignedNotify	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.1.1.3.0.1			This event will be triggered if a Domain ID is not assigned or configured, then the E_ports may be isolated in the VSAN. The conditions are listed as follows: 1. If the switch has enabled the fabric configuration and a request for a configured static Domain ID is rejected or no other Domain ID is assigned, the E_ports will be isolated in the particular VSAN. 2. If the switch does not enable the fabric configuration and a Domain ID is not configured, all of its E_ports will be isolated in the particular VSAN. The notification contains the WWN of the Switch and the index of the VSAN in which the event occurred.

NTF hpnicfVsanDmFabricChangeNotify	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.1.1.3.0.3			This event will be triggered if a switch sends or receives a Build Fabric (BF) or a Reconfigure Fabric (RCF) message in a VSAN. The conditions a switch can receive or send a BF or a RCF are listed as follows: 1. Two isolated fabrics in a VSAN merge into one fabric. If the Domain ID lists do not overlap, the sent or received message is BF, other cases, it is RCF. 2. If an upstream principal link which connects to principal switch and other switches become disconnected, the sent or received message is BF. 3. A BF or RCF process is triggered manually by configuration. The notification contains the index of the VSAN in which a BF or a RCF was sent or received.
T/F hpnicfVsanDmFabricChangeNotifyEnable	1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.1.1.3.1.1	TruthValue	read-write	Specifies whether the hpnicfVsanDmFabricChangeNotify can be sent when a BF or RCF message was sent or received by a switch.

The fabric name specified here takes effect only if the value of hpnicfVsanDmDomainConfigureEnable is 'false', and the same fabric name should be configured for all switches in this VSAN. If the value of hpnicfVsanDmDomainConfigureEnable is 'true', the principal switch WWN is used as fabric name. The value should be set to zero-length when canceling a configured fabric name.

FAQ

How is HPN-ICF-VSAN-MIB used to verify VSAN provisioning on an HP Fibre Channel switch?
hpnicfVsanRowStatus and the domain-manager table reveal whether a VSAN is correctly provisioned and whether domain ID allocation is functioning, letting an operator confirm the fabric is logically partitioned as intended.

Is HPN-ICF-VSAN-MIB unique to HP switches?
Not entirely — it shares an essentially identical object structure with H3C/HH3C's equivalent VSAN MIBs, reflecting the common ICF/Comware codebase across HP's H3C-derived and HP-branded Fibre Channel switch lines.
