Cisco UCS MIB Files

Cisco UCS MIB files are a set of objects that are private extensions to the IETF standard MIB II. MIB II is
documented in RFC 1213, Management Information Base for Network Management of TCP/IP-based Internets:
MIB-II. Portions of MIB-II have been updated since RFC 1213. See the IETF website http://www.ietf.org for
the latest updates to this MIB.
If your NMS cannot get requested information from a fabric interconnect or Cisco UCS Manager, then the
MIB that allows that specific data collection might be missing. Typically, if an NMS cannot retrieve a particular
MIB variable, either the NMS does not recognize that MIB variable, or the agent does not support the MIB
variable. If the NMS does not recognize a specific MIB variable, you might need to load the MIB into the
NMS, usually with a MIB compiler. For example, you might need to load the Cisco UCS private MIB or the
supported RFC MIB into the NMS to execute the required data collection. If the agent does not support a
specific MIB variable, you must find out what version of system software you are running. Different software
releases support different MIBs.

Note Cisco and IETF MIBs are updated frequently. You should download the latest MIBs from Cisco.com
whenever you upgrade the Cisco UCS software versions.

Cisco UCS Manager

In Cisco UCS, a fault is a mutable object that is managed by Cisco UCS Manager. Each fault represents a
failure in the Cisco UCS instance or an alarm threshold that has been raised. During the life cycle of a fault,
it can change from one state or severity to another.
Each fault includes information about the operational state of the affected object at the time the fault was
raised. If the fault is transitional and the failure is resolved, then the object transitions to a functional state.
A fault remains in Cisco UCS Manager until the fault is cleared and deleted according to the settings in the
fault collection policy.
The following table lists the Cisco UCS traps included in the CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-NOTIF-MIB.

Table 1: CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-NOTIF-MIB Traps

Trap Description
cucsFaultActiveNotif This notification is generated by a Cisco UCS instance
whenever a fault is raised.
The OID for this SNMP trap is
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.719.0.1.

cucsFaultClearNotif This notification is generated by a Cisco UCS instance

whenever a fault is cleared.
The OID for this SNMP trap is
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.719.0.2.

All Cisco UCS Manager faults are available with SNMP using the cucsFaultTable table and the
CISCO-UNIFIED-COMUTING-FAULT-MIB. The table contains one entry for every fault instance. Each
entry has variables to indicate the nature of a problem, such as its severity and type. The same object is used
to model all Cisco UCS fault types, including equipment problems, FSM failures, configuration or
environmental issues, and connectivity issues. The cucsFaultTable table includes all active faults (those that
have been raised and need user attention), and all faults that have been cleared but not yet deleted because of
the retention interval.
The cucsFaultTable table has the same information as the <faultInst> objects that can be queried through
the XML API. In the Cisco UCS Manager GUI, faults are available in from the Admin tab under All > Faults,
Events and Audit Logs > Faults.
The following table describes the attributes exposed by the cucsFaultTable.

Use Cases for Cisco UCS Manager MIBs

Table 2: cucsFaultTable Attritubes

Attribute Description
Fault Instance ID (Table Index) A unique integer that identifies the fault.

Affected Object DN The distinguished name of the mutable object that has the
fault.

Affected Object OID The Object identifier (OID) of the mutable object that has
the fault.

Creation Time The time that the fault was created.

Last Modification The time when any of the attributes were modified.

Code A code that provides information specific to the nature of

the fault.

Type The fault type.

Cause The probable cause of the fault.

Severity The severity of the fault.

Occurrence The number of times that a fault has occurred since it was
created.

Description A human readable string that contains all information related

to the fault.

In Release 1.3 and later, Cisco UCS Manager sends a cucsFaultActiveNotif event notification whenever a
fault is raised. There is one exception to this rule: Cisco UCS Manager does not send event notifications for
FSM faults. The trap variables indicate the nature of the problem, including the fault type. Cisco UCS Manager
sends a cucsFaultClearNotif event notification whenever a fault has been cleared. A fault is cleared when the
underlying issue has been resolved.
In Release 1.4 and later, the cucsFaultActiveNotif and cucsFaultClearNotif traps are defined in the
CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-NOTIFS-MIB. All faults can be polled using SNMP GET operations on
the cucsFaultTable, which is defined in the CISO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-FAULT-MIB.
For more details about Cisco UCS Manager faults, see Cisco UCS Faults and Error Messages Reference.

Use Cases for Cisco UCS Manager MIBs

Common use cases for Cisco UCS Manager MIBs are described below.

The following table describes the traps included in the CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-NOTIFS-MIB.

Table 3: CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-NOTIFS MIB Traps

Trap Description
cucsFaultActiveNotif This notification is generated by a Cisco UCS instance
whenever a fault is raised.
The OID that corresponds to this SNMP trap is
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.719.0.1.

cucsFaultClearNotif This notification is generated by a Cisco UCS instance

whenever a fault is cleared.
The OID that corresponds to this SNMP trap is
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.719.0.2.

Gathering Inventory Information

Cisco UCS MIBs can be used to gather information about the compute equipment in your Cisco UCS inventory.
Inventory information includes data such as blades, serial numbers, DIMMs, and other intelligence related to
system equipment.
See Purpose of the Cisco UCS MIBs, on page 15, to learn more about which MIBs you need to add to your
NMS to collect the inventory data that interests you.

Gathering Statistics
If you want to use SNMP as a way to gather statistics, use the table below as a guide to what MIBs to load
and what tables in each MIB to query.

Types of MIBs
The Cisco UCS Management is based on the XML over HTTP model, which provides a rich data model to
configure and monitor the system. This model includes polices, service profiles, configuration and monitoring
data, and statistics.
To simplify the integration of Cisco UCS with SNMP based NMS, Cisco UCS Manager exposes the model
through SNMP, based on the following Cisco UCS releases:
• In Release 1.0 and later, IETF networking MIBs, such as the IF-MIB and the ENTITY-MIB are
implemented.

Note The IETF network MIBs provide information specific only to fabric interconnects.

MIB Reference for Cisco UCS Manager

6 OL-20152-06
 About Cisco UCS MIB Files
Cisco Extensions to the IF-MIB

• In Release 1.4 and later, the entire Cisco UCS Manager data model is exposed through the read-only
Cisco UCS MIBs. All objects that can be retrieved through the Cisco UCS Manager XML API can also
be retrieved through Cisco UCS Manager MIBs.

Note Each release maintains complete coverage of the XML API model via private MIBs.

Cisco Extensions to the IF-MIB

The IF-MIB supports basic management status and control of interfaces and sublayers within a network switch.
Multiple standard and Cisco-specific MIBs use ifIndex from the IF-MIB to extend management for specific
interface types. Cisco MIBs also enhance the two interface notifications, linkUp and linkDown, from the
IF-MIB to provide a clearer indication of the reason for these notifications. Cisco MIBs add two varbinds to
linkUp and linkDown as shown in the following table.

Table 5: Varbinds Added to IF-MIB Notifications

Notification Varbinds Added

linkUp ifDescr

linkDown ifDescr

See the http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/sw/cli/config/guide/2.1/b_UCSM_CLI_

Configuration_Guide_2_1.html for details about enabling link notifications that use these additional varbinds.

Cisco Extensions to the ENTITY-MIB

The ENTITY-MIB provides basic management and identification of physical and logical entities within a
network switch. Cisco support for the ENTITY-MIB focuses on the physical entities within a switch. This
MIB provides details about each module, power supply, and fan tray within a switch chassis. It provides
enough information to correctly map the containment of these entities within the switch.
Cisco has developed a number of private extensions to the ENTITY-MIB to provide more details for these
physical entities. Each MIB extension shares the common index value, entPhysicalIndex, which allows the
management application developer to link information across multiple MIBs.
The following table lists the Cisco MIB extensions that are linked to the ENTITY-MIB by entPhysicalIndex.

Table 6: ENTITY-MIB Extensions

MIB Description
CISCO-ENTITY-EXT-MIB Extends the entity physical table for modules with processors. For
each of these modules, this MIB provides memory statistics and
LED information.

Loading Cisco UCS MIBs Into a Network
Management System
This chapter includes the following sections:

• Load Cisco UCS Manager MIBs, page 11

• Prerequisite MIBs, page 11
• MIB Loading Order , page 12

Load Cisco UCS Manager MIBs

Before loading Cisco UCS Manager MIBs into an NMS, you must first load the prerequisite MIBs into the
NMS. This enables you to receive the Cisco UCS Manager Fault Traps in the NMS.

Prerequisite MIBs
The MIBs in this section are required for all use cases and need to be loaded before other Cisco MIBs are
loaded.

Important You should load the MIBs in the order listed to eliminate most of the load-order issues.

The following is a list of MIBs from which many other MIBs import definitions:
• SNMPv2-SMI.my
• SNMPv2-TC.my
• SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB.my
• RFC1213-MIB.my
• IF-MIB.my
• CISCO-SMI.my

MIB Reference for Cisco UCS Manager

OL-20152-06 11
 Loading Cisco UCS MIBs Into a Network Management System
MIB Loading Order

• CISCO-ST-TC.my
• ENTITY-MIB.my
• INET-ADDRESS-MIB
• CISCO.TC.my

Note The CISCO-SMI MIB defines the iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprise.cisco.ciscoMgmt object

(1.3.6.1.4.9.9), which is the parent node of all Cisco UCS Manager MIBs. Several MIBs, including the
CISCO-SMI MIB, must be loaded before other Cisco UCS Manager MIBs. Attempting to load other Cisco
UCS Manager MIBs before the CISCO-SMI MIB generally results in a MIB compiler error stating that
a MIB node has no parent node.

MIB Loading Order

Most of the MIB use definitions are defined in other MIBs. These definitions are listed in the IMPORTS
section near the top of the MIB.
For example, if MIB B imports a definition from MIB A, some MIB compilers require you to load MIB A
prior to loading MIB B. If you get the MIB loading order wrong, you might get an error message that a MIB
is undefined or not listed in IMPORTS. If you receive an error message, look at the loading order of MIBs
defined in the IMPORTS section. Ensure that you have the appropriate load order.

Order for Loading MIBs in Cisco UCS

Cisco UCS Manager 1.4 and later supports network MIBs and a series of MIBs to access all of the objects
stored in the Cisco UCS Manager Management Information Tree.
All managed objects that can be accessed through the Cisco UCS Manager XML API can also be retrieved
through read-only SNMP GET operations.

Important You should load the MIBs in the order listed to eliminate most of the load-order issues.

If you want to receive Cisco UCS traps in your NMS, first load the prerequisite MIBs (see Prerequisite MIBs,
on page 11), then load the following Cisco MIBs:
• CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-MIB.my
• CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-TC-MIB.my
• CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-FAULT-MIB.my
• CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-NOTIFS-MIB.my

If you want to retrieve Cisco UCS Manager managed objects using read-only SNMP GET operations, you
need to load all additional Cisco UCS Manager MIBs. The additional Cisco UCS Manager MIBs are generally
used to retrieve inventory and configuration information using SNMP GET operations. To learn more about
all of the Cisco UCS Manager MIBs, see Purpose of the Cisco UCS MIBs, on page 15.
