LDSM-MIB

Description: Monitors and manages Compaq LAN Device Storage Manager disk subsystem 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.

LDSM-MIB is a Compaq/Intel SNMP module (under the "lanDesk"/"ldsm" enterprise namespace) for the LAN Device Storage Manager, an agent that reports on the storage subsystem status of managed computers/servers. It exposes objects describing the agent's own version, an overall device/computer status, and an event log recording storage-related occurrences with a computer name, event time, and event status. Its primary purpose is monitoring hardware status -- specifically disk/storage subsystem health via the status object and a timestamped event/error log per managed computer, letting admins detect storage faults soon after they occur. It sits under Intel's enterprise network-products/lanDesk branch, suggesting it depends on or complements broader Intel LANDesk management infrastructure rather than IETF standard storage MIBs. It was typically deployed in Compaq/Intel LANDesk-managed PC and server fleets of the late 1990s for centralized disk health and storage-event monitoring, and today the LDSM-MIB download is mainly of interest to those maintaining or archiving legacy LANDesk agent support.

An admin would poll the "status" object to get a quick overall storage-health indicator for a managed computer, and correlate it with entries described by "computerName", "eventTime", and "eventStatus" to see when and where a storage event (e.g. a disk fault) occurred. The "version" object confirms which LDSM agent build is running, useful when troubleshooting inconsistent reporting across a fleet. A change in "eventStatus" to a fault value alongside a recent "eventTime" would flag a newly-arisen disk problem needing attention.
