Description: This object represents an administrative string, configured by the administrator. It can be a zero-length string.
What is scsiInstAlias?
A free-text, administrator-settable label for a SCSI management instance (an initiator or target's SCSI stack), starting as an empty string until someone sets it. Set it via SNMP write to give the instance a friendly name, such as 'Backup-HBA-1', so it's easier to identify in monitoring tools than a bare index number.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.139.2.1.1.1.2 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SCSI-MIB::scsiInstAlias
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.139.2.1.1.1.2.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SCSI-MIB::scsiInstAlias.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.139.2.1.1.1.2.1 s <value>
Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, storage controller/HBA, SAN/storage array (SCSI-layer identity/status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the SCSI-MIB::scsiInstAlias 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.
