What is hwMemoryDevFail?

A running counter of memory allocation failures on the device. A nonzero or increasing count means some internal operation couldn't get the memory it asked for — worth correlating with feature outages or crashes.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.6.3.5.1.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> HUAWEI-DEVICE-MIB::hwMemoryDevFail

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.6.3.5.1.1.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> HUAWEI-DEVICE-MIB::hwMemoryDevFail.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> hwMemoryDevFail.1
