SNMP DISKIO 64bit counters

[jmo]

Hi derkgort,

you should consider contacting support if you need an answer from Open-E. This forum is mostly for user-to-user communications - AFAIK there's no guarantee for an official response to forum messages.

Does anyone know if there is a solution for this problem?

We use standard MIB-IIs in DSS:
* - mib-2.host
* - mib-2.ip
* - mib-2.tcp
* - mib-2.udp
* - mib-2.interfaces
* - mib-2.at
* - system

As an alternative, you can try MIB browser, and do a SNMP walk and get them all.

This problem is still a problem with version 6.0up80.8101.5626 64bit. The diskIONRead and diskIONWritten max out too fast, as soon as they hit the 32-bit limit, it's over. Please update them to 64-bit or, as suggested above, reset them as soon the counter limit has been hit.

Please update them to 64-bit or, as suggested above, reset them as soon the counter limit has been hit.

The size of MIB structures are defined by standard*, so Open-E cannot arbitrarily change their size.

"Counters" are explicitly defined in RFC1155 to "a maximum value of 2^32-1 (4294967295 decimal)"

So, don't complain to open-e, take up the issue with the ISO group.



*MIB II is defined in RFC 1213 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1213), which imports RFC 1155 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1155)
