What is vmwNumReads?

A running count of read operations performed on this disk since the disk module was loaded, from the obsolete legacy HBA statistics table. Admins used it alongside vmwKbRead to gauge storage I/O activity per disk on classic ESX hosts.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.3.3.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> VMWARE-OBSOLETE-MIB::vmwNumReads

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.3.3.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> VMWARE-OBSOLETE-MIB::vmwNumReads.1
