HPNSADIMM-MIB

Description: Monitors HP NetServer Agent DIMM memory module inventory, slot population, and error status on HP ProLiant servers.

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.

HPNSADIMM-MIB is a proprietary HP NetServer Agent module belonging to Hewlett-Packard's ProLiant/NetServer server management family, part of the classic HP Insight Manager/NetServer Assistant agent suite. It exposes inventory-style data about the DIMM memory subsystem: memory module slot population, per-slot capacity, and per-DIMM error or failure status. Its primary monitoring value is hardware health of the physical memory subsystem, letting an administrator see which DIMM slots are populated, detect empty or misconfigured slots, and identify a DIMM that has failed or is reporting errors, which directly affects server uptime and stability. As an HP NetServer Agent module it is typically deployed alongside sibling HPNSA MIBs (such as the ECC and storage capacity modules) that together form the full NetServer hardware-monitoring agent, rather than standing alone. It is found in legacy HP NetServer and early ProLiant server deployments running the HP Insight/NetServer SNMP agent for hardware inventory and fault monitoring, and administrators supporting these legacy servers can still find an HPNSADIMM-MIB download to load into a modern MIB browser.

An administrator would poll the DIMM slot table (analogous to a dimmTable/dimmEntry structure) to enumerate installed memory modules, their reported size, and a per-slot status code. A status change from 'good' to 'failed' or 'not present' on a previously populated slot would reveal a failing or removed DIMM before it causes a server crash or memory-capacity drop. Because no sample objects were provided for this module, the specific object names above are inferred from the module's stated purpose rather than drawn from the source.
