SNMP and PET Traps

SNMP traps are generated by SNMP agents that are enabled on the SNMP devices being managed by ILOM. ILOM receives the SNMP traps and converts them into SNMP event messages that appear in the event log.

Platform Event Trap (PET) events are generated by systems with Alert Standard Format (ASF) or an IPMI baseboard management controller. The PET events provide advance warning of possible system failures.

The MIBs are available on the tools and drivers CD and can be downloaded from http://www.oracle.com/goto/x4800.

The following table shows the relationship between traps and sensors.

Sensor	Trap/Event/Severity	Description
NEM	sunHwTrapIOFault event fault.chassis.device.fail MAJOR	A component in the IO subsystem is suspected of causing a fault.
NEM	sunHwTrapIOFaultCleared event fault.chassis.device.fail INFORMATIONAL	An IO subsystem component fault has been cleared.
PS	sunHwTrapPowerSupplyFault event fault.chassis.env.power.loss MAJOR	A power supply component is suspected of causing a fault.
PS	sunHwTrapPowerSupplyFaultCleared event fault.chassis.env.power.loss INFORMATIONAL	A power supply component fault has been cleared.
T_AMB PS`n`/T_AMB BL`n`/T_AMB `n` = 0 through 3	sunHwTrapTempCritThresholdExceeded Upper critical threshold exceeded MAJOR	A temperature sensor has reported that its value has gone above an upper critical threshold setting or below a lower critical threshold setting. The sunHwTrapThresholdType object indicates whether the threshold was an upper or lower.
	sunHwTrapTempCritThresholdDeasserted Upper critical threshold no longer exceeded INFORMATIONAL	A temperature sensor has reported that its value has gone below an upper critical threshold setting or above a lower critical threshold setting. The sunHwTrapThresholdType object indicates whether the threshold was an upper or lower.
	sunHwTrapTempFatalThresholdExceeded Upper fatal threshold exceeded CRITICAL	A temperature sensor has reported that its value has gone above an upper fatal threshold setting or below a lower fatal threshold setting. The sunHwTrapThresholdType object indicates whether the threshold was an upper or lower.
	sunHwTrapTempFatalThresholdDeasserted Upper fatal threshold no longer exceeded INFORMATIONAL	A temperature sensor has reported that its value has gone below an upper fatal threshold setting or above a lower fatal threshold setting. The sunHwTrapThresholdType object indicates whether the threshold was an upper or lower.
BL`n`/T_AMB `n` = 0 through 3	sunHwTrapTempNonCritThresholdExceeded Upper noncritical threshold exceeded MINOR	A temperature sensor has reported that its value has gone above an upper non-critical threshold setting or below a lower non-critical threshold setting. The sunHwTrapThresholdType object indicates whether the threshold was an upper or lower.
BL`n`/T_AMB `n` = 0 through 3	sunHwTrapTempOk Upper noncritical threshold no longer exceeded INFORMATIONAL	A temperature sensor has reported that its value is in the normal operating range.
HOT BLn/HOT	sunHwTrapComponentError Assert MAJOR	A sensor has detected an error. This generic 'component' trap is generated when the SNMP agent does not recognize the component type.
HOT BLn/HOT	sunHwTrapComponentOk Deassert INFORMATIONAL	A sensor has returned to its normal state. This generic 'component' trap is generated when the SNMP agent does not recognize the component type.
PWRBS PS`n`/V_IN_ERR PS`n`/V_IN_WARN PS`n`/V_OUT_ERR PS`n`/I_OUT_ERR PS`n`/I_OUT_WARN PS`n`/T_ERR PS`n`/T_WARN PS`n`/FAN_ERR PS`n`/FAN_WARN PS`n`/ERR `n` = 0 through 3	sunHwTrapPowerSupplyError Assert MAJOR	A power supply sensor has detected an error.
	sunHwTrapPowerSupplyOk Deassert INFORMATIONAL	A power supply sensor has returned to its normal state.
ACPI	sunHwTrapComponentError MAJOR One of: ACPI_ON_WORKING DEASSERT ACPI_ON_WORKING DEASSERT ACPI_SOFT_OFF ASSERT ACPI_SOFT_OFF DEASSERT	A sensor has detected an error. This generic component trap is generated when the SNMP agent does not recognize the component type.
PS`n`/V_OUT_OK `n` = 0 through 3	sunHwTrapPowerSupplyError Deassert MAJOR	A power supply sensor has detected an error.
PS`n`/V_OUT_OK `n` = 0 through 3	sunHwTrapPowerSupplyOk Assert INFORMATIONAL	A power supply sensor has returned to its normal state.
DBP/HDD`n`/STATE `n` = 0 through 7	sunHwTrapHardDriveStatus DRIVE_FAULT ASSERT INFORMATIONAL	The hard drive identified by sunHwTrapComponentName has changed state.
	sunHwTrapHardDriveStatus DRIVE_FAULT DEASSERT INFORMATIONAL	The hard drive identified by sunHwTrapComponentName has changed state.
	sunHwTrapHardDriveStatus PREDICTIVE_FAILURE ASSERT INFORMATIONAL	The hard drive identified by sunHwTrapComponentName has changed state.
	sunHwTrapHardDriveStatus PREDICTIVE_FAILURE DEASSERT INFORMATIONAL	The hard drive identified by sunHwTrapComponentName has changed state.
	sunHwTrapHardDriveStatus HOT_SPARE ASSERT INFORMATIONAL	The hard drive identified by sunHwTrapComponentName has changed state.
	sunHwTrapHardDriveStatus HOT_SPARE DEASSERT INFORMATIONAL	The hard drive identified by sunHwTrapComponentName has changed state.
