t11FLockInitiator

Module: T11-FC-FABRIC-LOCK-MIB

OID (symbolic): T11-FC-FABRIC-LOCK-MIB::t11FLockInitiator

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.159.1.1.1.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: OCTET STRING

Access: read-only

Description: This object specifies the initiator whose request caused this lock to be established.

If the value of the corresponding instance of t11FLockInitiatorType is 'ssb', this object will contain the FC_ID of the client that issued the Server Session Begin (SSB) that required the lock to be established.

If the value of the corresponding instance of t11FLockInitiatorType object is 'cli', this object will contain the user name of the CLI (Command Line Interface) user on whose behalf the lock was established.

If the value of the corresponding instance of t11FLockInitiatorType is 'snmp', this object will contain the SNMP securityName used by the SNMPv3 message containing the SetRequest that created this row. (If the row was created via SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c, then the appropriate value of the snmpCommunitySecurityName is used.)

What is t11FLockInitiator?

This value identifies the specific initiator that caused this fabric lock to be established: the FC_ID of the client for an ssb-type lock, the CLI username for a cli-type lock, or the SNMP securityName (or community-derived security name) for an snmp-type lock. Admins use it to pinpoint exactly who or what is holding the fabric lock, which is critical when a stuck lock is blocking other fabric-wide operations. For example, seeing a specific CLI username here would tell the admin which administrator's active session is currently holding the fabric lock.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.159.1.1.1.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> T11-FC-FABRIC-LOCK-MIB::t11FLockInitiator

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.159.1.1.1.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> T11-FC-FABRIC-LOCK-MIB::t11FLockInitiator.1
