What Is Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-FileSystemMIB?

This MIB module manages the file system subsystem on Nortel MsCarrier MscPassport switches, covering local storage, file transfer, and disk-related management functions used for software loads and configuration backups. It exposes administrative, operational, and usage state objects for file-system components (mscFsAdminState, mscFsOperationalState, mscFsUsageState) alongside disk-related identifiers (mscFsDisk) and standard row-status/provisioning objects. This is a clear hardware/software status MIB: it lets administrators directly monitor whether the switch's disk/file-system hardware is operationally up, in use, or disabled, which is critical for confirming the node can successfully store logs, trace captures, or software images. It uses the standard MsCarrier Passport component-naming/row-status/state conventions shared across the broader MsCarrier Passport MIB family. It is deployed on Nortel MsCarrier MscPassport switches to monitor local disk/file storage health as part of routine node maintenance, and administrators supporting these switches typically start with a Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-FileSystemMIB download to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-FileSystemMIB. 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.

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll mscFsStateTable/mscFsStateEntry to read mscFsOperationalState and mscFsUsageState for a disk component identified via mscFsIndex, confirming the file system is operationally enabled and not in a busy/full usage state. If mscFsOperationalState shows disabled while mscFsAdminState is unlocked, that mismatch would indicate a disk hardware fault preventing software loads or trace file storage from completing.

The descriptions generically indicate what each state attribute implies about the component. Note that not all the values and state combinations described here are supported by every component which uses this group. For component-specific information and the valid state combinations, refer to NTP 241-7001-150, Passport Operations and Maintenance Guide.
mscFsDiskTestStateEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.15.2.2.10.1		not-accessible	An entry in the mscFsDiskTestStateTable.
INT mscFsDiskTestAdminState	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.15.2.2.10.1.1	INTEGER	read-only	This attribute indicates the OSI Administrative State of the component. The value locked indicates that the component is administratively prohibited from providing services for its users. A Lock or Lock - force command has been previously issued for this component. When the value is locked, the value of usageState must be idle. The value shuttingDown indicates that the component is administratively permitted to provide service to its existing users only. A Lock command was issued against the component and it is in the process of shutting down. The value unlocked indicates that the component is administratively permitted to provide services for its users. To enter this state, issue an Unlock command to this component.
INT mscFsDiskTestOperationalState	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.15.2.2.10.1.2	INTEGER	read-only	This attribute indicates the OSI Operational State of the component. The value enabled indicates that the component is available for operation. Note that if adminState is locked, it would still not be providing service. The value disabled indicates that the component is not available for operation. For example, something is wrong with the component itself, or with another component on which this one depends. If the value is disabled, the usageState must be idle.
INT mscFsDiskTestUsageState	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.15.2.2.10.1.3	INTEGER	read-only	This attribute indicates the OSI Usage State of the component. The value idle indicates that the component is not currently in use. The value active indicates that the component is in use and has spare capacity to provide for additional users. The value busy indicates that the component is in use and has no spare operating capacity for additional users at this time.
mscFsDiskTestSetupTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.15.2.2.11		not-accessible	* THIS TABLE CURRENTLY NOT IMPLEMENTED * This group contains the Test component operational data. The testCount, duration and type can be set to control the duration and the test type which will be run.
mscFsDiskTestSetupEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.15.2.2.11.1		not-accessible	An entry in the mscFsDiskTestSetupTable.
U32 mscFsDiskTestTestCount	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.15.2.2.11.1.1	Unsigned32	read-write	This attribute indicates the number of times that the test will run. Note that the test will not run that many times if 'duration' is not long enough to allow the test to complete. The test will execute at least one and then stop at the count where duration has just exceeded.
U32 mscFsDiskTestDuration	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.15.2.2.11.1.2	Unsigned32	read-write	This attribute is the maximum duration (in minutes) that the test will run. The test can finish in less time if the number of tests, as recorded by testCount, is reached before this time. A test may take longer than the specified duration since a test cycle (or pass) is not interruptible.
INT mscFsDiskTestType	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.15.2.2.11.1.3	INTEGER	read-write	This attribute is the type of the test to be run. The diskRead test reads every sector on the disk once and reports bad sectors. The filesystemCheck does a sanity check and attempts to repair corruption. The flakyBitDetection test reads every sector on the disk twice and compares the two read results. The surfaceAnalysis test writes a magnetically hard to record pattern to the disk and reads back the pattern to determine the condition of the magnetic surface of the disk. The surface analysis test destroys all the data and disk should be formatted afterward.

The reasons are: testCountReached: the test ran the number of times specified in the attribute testCount and ended normally. error: the test was terminated by an error that is recorded in the natureOfError attribute. neverStarted: the test was never started. stoppedByOperator: the test was terminated by the Stop command. testTimeExpired: the duration of the test expired. testRunning: the test is still running. unknown: the test terminated for unknown reasons. internalError: An internal error terminated the test.
INT mscFsDiskTestNatureOfError	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.15.2.2.12.1.2	INTEGER	read-only	This attribute describes the error found by a test. A logical error can be fixed by a filesystemCheck test followed eventually by a synchronization. A media error indicates that a fault in the disk hardware is suspected. A failedToComplete error indicates that the test was terminated.
INT mscFsDiskTestSeverity	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.15.2.2.12.1.3	INTEGER	read-only	This attribute describes the severity of the error found by a test. There are three types of severity: no data was lost, data was lost and hardware problem. If the test found no error(s), this will be reported as noError. If the test found error(s) but no data was lost, then noDataLost is reported.
U32 mscFsDiskTestElapsedTime	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.15.2.2.12.1.4	Unsigned32	read-only	This attribute records the elapsed time (in minutes) since the test was started.

U32 mscFsDiskFreeSpace	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.15.2.11.1.3	Unsigned32	read-only	freeSpace This attribute indicates the available free disk space(in bytes) on the disk. Free space is reduced by bad blocks (if any). If there are different numbers of bad blocks on the disks in a dual-disk system, the reported free space will differ on the two disks. Moreover, due to the DOS file system internal representation of directories and files, adding and deleting files may fragment the disks differently resulting in some disk space wasted. A small discrepancy (less than 1% of the disk size) in the disks free space is considered as normal.
G32 mscFsDiskBadBlocksPercentage	1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.15.2.11.1.4	Gauge32	read-only	This attribute records the percentage of the disk space lost because of defects. If this percentage is high, it is recommended to change the disk.
