What Is QLGC-adapterInfo-MIB?

QLGC-adapterInfo-MIB is QLogic's vendor-specific MIB for Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBAs), exposing identity and status information about installed FC adapters in a server. It covers data such as firmware version, port World Wide Name (WWN), and link speed for each adapter port. Its monitoring value is directly hardware/software status oriented: firmware version confirms the adapter's running software level (useful for tracking upgrade compliance), and link speed/port status reveal whether the FC link to the SAN fabric is up and negotiated at the expected speed, critical for diagnosing SAN connectivity issues. There's no explicit dependency on other MIBs, being a self-contained adapter management module, though it would typically be polled alongside host system MIBs. It's typically deployed on servers with QLogic FC HBAs connecting to a Fibre Channel SAN, monitored by storage/SAN management tools or by loading the module into a QLGC-adapterInfo-MIB MIB Browser for direct inspection.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in QLGC-adapterInfo-MIB. 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.

Supported Devices

  • QLogic Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA)

Monitoring Examples

Because sample_objects for this MIB were not available, specific table/object names cannot be cited. A realistic scenario given the description would involve polling per-adapter-port objects for firmware version, port WWN, and link speed to confirm an HBA is running the expected firmware and its FC link is up at the negotiated speed; a link speed dropping unexpectedly or a firmware version mismatch would flag a hardware or driver issue needing attention. Without the object list, exact column/table names cannot be confirmed.
