scsiInstStorageType

Module: SCSI-MIB

OID (symbolic): SCSI-MIB::scsiInstStorageType

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.139.2.1.1.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: StorageType

Access: read-write

Description: This object specifies the memory realization for this SCSI entity. Specifically, each row in the following tables:

scsiIntrDevTable scsiDscTgtTable scsiAuthorizedIntrTable scsiLunMapTable

has a StorageType as specified by the instance of this object that is INDEXed by the same value of scsiInstIndex. This value of this object is also used to indicate the persistence across reboots of writable values in its row of the scsiInstanceTable. Conceptual rows having the value 'permanent' need not allow write-access to any columnar objects in the row, nor to any object belonging to a table whose entry is INDEXed by the same value of scsiInstIndex.

What is scsiInstStorageType?

Specifies whether writable configuration for this SCSI instance (and its dependent tables like scsiDscTgtTable and scsiLunMapTable) is kept in volatile memory, non-volatile memory, or permanent read-only storage, defaulting to nonVolatile. An admin checking this before making config changes would want 'permanent' rows to know their settings can't be altered and don't need to be re-applied after reboot, versus 'volatile' rows that vanish on restart.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.139.2.1.1.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SCSI-MIB::scsiInstStorageType

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.139.2.1.1.1.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SCSI-MIB::scsiInstStorageType.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.139.2.1.1.1.6.1 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::scsiInstStorageType 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.
