Hello,
Trying to add Vfilers to NPM, but I am unable to add them. I have no problems adding the physical filers, but the Vfilers are another story. Any help would be much appreciated.
thanks,
Manny
I haven't had any luck with vfilers either.
I am curious on how you are handling your physical filers, would you mind sharing?
I am currently working on a way to do this. The views don't look very good and there are not a lot of MIBs in NPM that have vfiler information. I do have a Universal Device Poller Resource that has a little bit of info in it for a vfiler. It contains the name, the status, the number of IPs, and the UUID. I am working on one that shows what vfiler the volumes are on. I will upload it into the content exchange when I'm done.
Well, that is a start. All I have so far for NetApp is a UnDP for CPU and Volume(s) utilization.
As far as adding filers, I have added the filer using SNMPv3 and used some of the UDPs that were already out there in content exchange. I have also added my own UDPs for more detailed information from other MIBs. I also have a view setup with tabs for the different pieces of the filer (vfiler, volumes, qtrees, stats, network, etc). I am still working on all this. It doesn't look like anyone has done this before for NPM. At least I don't see much of it out here on thwack and I know hardly anything is delivered with NPM.
Byrona,
No problem at all. The Filer Setup is straight forward using command line. I prefer using the command line over system manager.
Via the cmd line
options snmp.enable on - turns it on
useradmin role add <role name> -a login-snmp
useradmin group add <group name> -r <role name>
useradmin user add <username> -g <group name>
Type your new password
snmp traps enable
snmp init 1
snmp authtrap 1
snmp traphost add <solarwinds IP>
snmp location <filer location>
Repeat steps on each FAS.
When adding the device to SW only the AUTH username and password is used.
Hope this is what you were looking for.
Christopher Good,
What exactly did you do to add the vfilers? I couldn't get mine to respond?
