Description: Stepping is a free-form string indicating the revision level of the Processor within the Processor Family.

What is ibmSystemProcessorStepping?

This is a free-form string giving the silicon revision, or stepping level, of the processor within its family. Admins use stepping information to check for known erratas, microcode requirements, or compatibility issues tied to a specific manufacturing revision. For example, a stepping value like "B1" could indicate an early revision that requires a particular microcode update to avoid a known CPU bug.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.159.1.1.140.1.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IBM-SYSTEM-PROCESSOR-MIB::ibmSystemProcessorStepping

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.159.1.1.140.1.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IBM-SYSTEM-PROCESSOR-MIB::ibmSystemProcessorStepping.1
