Description: Monitors HP NetServer Administrator storage and system status.

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 HPNSATAT-MIB?

HPNSATAT-MIB is part of the legacy HP NetServer Agent (Test/Administrator Tool) suite and covers storage and system self-test status on HP ProLiant/NetServer servers. Its sample objects show it exposes drive self-test (DST) timing data, indicating it tracks when disk self-diagnostic routines started, completed, and finished on attached drives. Its monitoring purpose is squarely hardware status: confirming that a drive self-test ran and completed, and using the timestamps to detect drives that never finished a scheduled diagnostic or took abnormally long, which can be an early indicator of failing storage media. As a legacy HP agent MIB it likely coexists with sibling modules such as HPNSAASR-MIB (RAID redundancy) and HPNSATRAP-MIB (hardware alert traps) on the same device. It would have been deployed on legacy HP NetServer/ProLiant servers running HP's SNMP agent for proactive disk health monitoring. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the HPNSATAT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HPNSATAT-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

  • HP NetServer/ProLiant servers

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll hpTatAgtDriveDstStartTime and hpTatAgtDriveDstEndTime to determine how long a drive self-test (DST) took to run, and check hpTatAgtDriveDstCompletionTime to confirm the test actually finished. If the completion time is missing or the elapsed duration between start and end is unusually long, that can indicate a drive experiencing latent read errors during self-test, warranting proactive replacement before an outright failure.

What Can Be Monitored

  • drive self-test start time
  • drive self-test end time
  • drive self-test completion time/status
