Description: Manages Sun storage container configuration, capacity, and data service operational 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.

What Is SCM-CONTAINER-MIB2?

SCM-CONTAINER-MIB2 is Sun Microsystems' Solaris Container Manager MIB, used to monitor Solaris Zones/Containers and resource pools running on a Sun (later Oracle) Solaris server host. It exposes host configuration data - hostname, operating system and platform identification, CPU count and clock frequency, memory size, and network interface count - alongside project and resource-pool configuration timestamps and trap acknowledgment state. Its monitoring value centers on host hardware/software status: CPU and memory sizing let an operator baseline the capacity available to containers on that host, while agent version/build data confirms which management-agent software is running, and the configuration timestamps reveal exactly when a container's resource pool or project definition last changed. It works alongside Sun's broader SunSymon (Sun Management Center) framework and general host-resources style MIBs rather than replacing them. It is typically deployed by Solaris administrators consolidating multiple application workloads into containers/zones on shared hardware, polled by Sun/Oracle systems-management tools. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the SCM-CONTAINER-MIB2 file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in SCM-CONTAINER-MIB2. 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

  • Sun/Oracle Solaris server
  • Solaris Zones/Containers host

Monitoring Examples

An admin would poll configurationCpus and cpuClockFrequency together with memory to size the container host's available capacity, and watch poolconfTimestamp or projectTimestamp for an unexpected change indicating a resource pool or project was reconfigured outside of a maintenance window. operatingSystem and platform confirm the OS release and hardware platform in use, and trapAck lets the manager acknowledge alarm conditions raised for the container environment.

What Can Be Monitored

  • host memory size
  • number of CPUs
  • CPU clock frequency
  • network interface count
  • resource pool configuration change timestamp
  • project configuration change timestamp
