ibmSystemFanStatus

Module: IBM-SYSTEM-LMSENSOR-MIB

OID (symbolic): IBM-SYSTEM-LMSENSOR-MIB::ibmSystemFanStatus

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.159.1.1.80.3.1.9

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: String

Access: read-only

Description: The Status property is a string indicating the current status of the object. Various operational and non-operational statuses can be defined. Operational statuses are OK, Degraded and Pred Fail. Pred Fail indicates that an element may be functioning properly but predicting a failure in the near future. An example is a SMART-enabled hard drive. Non-operational statuses can also be specified. These are Error, Starting, Stopping and Service. The latter, Service, could apply during mirror-resilvering of a disk, reload of a user permissions list, or other administrative work. Not all such work is on-line, yet the managed element is neither OK nor in one of the other states. OK = Normal Error = Critical

What is ibmSystemFanStatus?

The current operational status string for this fan, such as OK (normal) or Error (critical), with additional states like Degraded, Pred Fail, Starting, Stopping, or Service also defined per the DESCRIPTION. This is the single field an admin's monitoring script checks first before digging into DesiredSpeed or tachometer data.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.159.1.1.80.3.1.9
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IBM-SYSTEM-LMSENSOR-MIB::ibmSystemFanStatus

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.159.1.1.80.3.1.9.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IBM-SYSTEM-LMSENSOR-MIB::ibmSystemFanStatus.1

SNMPv3 example:

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