hpnicfVsanDmNewPrincipalSwitchNotify

OID (symbolic): HPN-ICF-VSAN-MIB::hpnicfVsanDmNewPrincipalSwitchNotify

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.1.1.3.0.2

Node type: NOTIFICATION-TYPE

Description: If a switch becomes the new Principal Switch in a VSAN, this notification is sent immediately after the election.

The notification contains the WWN of the new Principal Switch and the index of the VSAN in which the transition occurred.

What is hpnicfVsanDmNewPrincipalSwitchNotify?

This is a notification (alert) sent immediately when a switch wins the election to become the Principal Switch in a Fibre Channel Virtual SAN (VSAN). The notification includes the new Principal Switch's World Wide Name (WWN) identifier and the VSAN index affected by the election. Network administrators use this alert to track fabric topology changes, ensure correct switch roles, and validate that critical switches are elected as expected.

Examples

Send this trap to an SNMP manager — replace <manager> with the IP or hostname of your monitoring server (SNMPv2c):

snmptrap -v2c -c public <manager> '' HPN-ICF-VSAN-MIB::hpnicfVsanDmNewPrincipalSwitchNotify
snmptrap -v2c -c public <manager> '' 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.15.2.127.1.1.3.0.2

Listen for incoming traps on the manager host (-f keeps it in the foreground, -Lo prints to stdout — useful for testing):

snmptrapd -f -Lo -c /dev/null authCommunity log public
