scsiDeviceAlias
Module: SCSI-MIB
OID (symbolic): SCSI-MIB::scsiDeviceAlias
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.139.2.1.2.1.2
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: SnmpAdminString
Access: read-write
Description: This object contains an administrative name for this device. If no name is assigned, the value of this object is the zero-length string. The StorageType of this object is specified by the instance of scsiInstStorageType that is INDEXed by the same value of scsiInstIndex.
What is scsiDeviceAlias?
An administrator-assigned friendly name for a local SCSI device (initiator or target), empty by default, whose persistence across reboots is governed by the corresponding scsiInstStorageType setting. An admin would set this to something like 'SAN-Array-East' to make the device easy to recognize in reports instead of by index alone.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.139.2.1.2.1.2 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SCSI-MIB::scsiDeviceAlias
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.139.2.1.2.1.2.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SCSI-MIB::scsiDeviceAlias.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.139.2.1.2.1.2.1 s <value>
