connUnitEventDescr OID Description Note Note 1.3.6.1.3.94.1.11.1.9 The description of the event. Same as the string displayed in the system error log. The system error log can be viewed using the errShow or errDump commands. For Fabric OS 4.4.0, the format of error messages has changed. This field now uses the message title and number (for example, WEBD-1006) and the message text. Previously, this field used the task ID and all of the message number and message text. For more information on error messages, see the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS diagnostics and system error messages reference guide. Connectivity unit link table connUnitLinkTable OID 1.3.6.1.3.94.1.12 Description A list of links known to this agent from this connectivity unit to other connectivity units: X is switch data and Y is other end. Note The link table is intended to organize and communicate any information the agent has that might assist a management application to discover the connectivity units in the framework and the topology of their interconnect: the goal is to assist the management application by mapping the elements of the framework, in addition to listing them. With this goal, the agent should include as much information as it possesses about any links from its own connectivity units to others, including links among its own units. An agent should include partial information about links if it is not able to fully define them in accord with the following structure; however, the information must include either a nonzero connUnitNodeId-or a nonzero connUnitPortWwn-for each end of the link. If the agent is able to discover links that do not directly attach to members of its agency and its discovery algorithm gives some assurance that the links are recently valid, it might include these links. Link information entered by administrative action might be included, even if not validated directly, if the link has at least one endpoint in this agency, but it should not be included otherwise. A connectivity unit should fill in the table in as best it can. One of the methods for filling in the table would be to use the RNID ELS command (ANSI document 99-422v0). This command queries a port for the information needed for the link table. This table is accessed either directly, if the management software has an index value, or using getNext. The values of the indexes are not required to be contiguous. Each entry created in this table is assigned an index. This relationship is kept persistent until the entry is removed from the table or the system is reset. The total number of entries is defined by the size of the table. For an entry to be considered valid, both the X (local) and the Y (remote) values need to have one valid value. 238 FibreAlliance MIB objects
