scsiDeviceRole
Module: SCSI-MIB
OID (symbolic): SCSI-MIB::scsiDeviceRole
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.139.2.1.2.1.3
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Bits
Access: read-only
Description: This object determines whether this device is acting as a SCSI initiator device, or as a SCSI target device, or as both.
What is scsiDeviceRole?
A bitmask reporting whether this SCSI device is acting as an initiator (issues commands), a target (receives commands), or both at once. Checking this tells an admin, for example, that a dual-role HBA is simultaneously serving as both a SAN initiator and a target for replication traffic.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.139.2.1.2.1.3 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SCSI-MIB::scsiDeviceRole
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.139.2.1.2.1.3.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SCSI-MIB::scsiDeviceRole.1

Create custom SNMP monitor using the SCSI-MIB::scsiDeviceRole OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, storage controller/HBA, SAN/storage array (SCSI-layer identity/status) from a single console.
