Description: Manages UMS asset identification objects for device inventory tracking and hardware classification.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is UMSASSETID-MIB?

UMSASSETID-MIB is a vendor-specific asset-identification MIB (associated with IBM's PSG/BladeCenter management stack, judging from the iBMPSG object prefix) used for hardware inventory and asset tracking on managed systems. It exposes tables of serial-number and identification information (name, serial number, manufacturer, model, version, and other identifying info) as well as a computer-system table describing the managed asset. Its primary monitoring value is hardware inventory/status: confirming exactly which physical unit (by serial number, model, and manufacturer) is installed and reachable, which is foundational for asset-management and hardware-lifecycle tracking rather than performance counters. It likely depends on or complements a broader system-management MIB suite (such as IBM's server management or the Entity MIB) for fuller hardware status. It is typically deployed on IBM server/BladeCenter-class hardware within enterprise asset-management and inventory-discovery tooling. Engineers can download the UMSASSETID-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in UMSASSETID-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • IBM server / BladeCenter-class managed system

Monitoring Examples

An admin or inventory tool would walk iBMPSGSerialNumberInformationTable (rows in iBMPSGSerialNumberInformationEntry keyed by iBMPSGSerialNumberInformationKeyIndex) to pull iBMPSGSerialNumberInformationSerialNumber, iBMPSGSerialNumberInformationManufacturer, and iBMPSGSerialNumberInformationModel for each identified component. The iBMPSGComputerSystemTable/iBMPSGComputerSystemEntry rows would similarly be polled to confirm the system's identity matches asset-management records, flagging a mismatch (wrong serial number or model reported) as a sign of a swapped or misconfigured unit.

What Can Be Monitored

  • component serial number
  • manufacturer name
  • model identifier
  • firmware/hardware version
  • other identifying asset info
  • computer system identity record
