Module: SNIA-SML-MIB

OID (symbolic): SNIA-SML-MIB::softwareElement_InstanceID

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.14851.3.1.9.2.1.11

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: DisplayString

Access: read-only

Description: Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. In order to ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID SHOULD be constructed using the following 'preferred' algorithm: : Where and are separated by a colon ':', and where MUST include a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity creating/defining the InstanceID, or is a registered ID that is assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority (This is similar to the _ structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness MUST NOT contain a colon (':'). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID MUST appear between and . is chosen by the business entity and SHOULD not be re-used to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If the above 'preferred' algorithm is not used, the defining entity MUST assure that the resultant InstanceID is not re-used across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for this instance's NameSpace. For DMTF defined instances, the 'preferred' algorithm MUST be used with the set to 'CIM'.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.14851.3.1.9.2.1.11
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SNIA-SML-MIB::softwareElement_InstanceID

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.14851.3.1.9.2.1.11.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SNIA-SML-MIB::softwareElement_InstanceID.1

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB (SNIA SMI-S), SAN storage subsystems/enclosures (chassis identity/security-breach status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the SNIA-SML-MIB::softwareElement_InstanceID OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB (SNIA SMI-S), SAN storage subsystems/enclosures (chassis identity/security-breach status) from a single console.
