"Specific Trap Type" field on SNMP trap packet

Hello guys,

I have questions about "Specific Trap Type" filed on SNMP trap packet sent by Scaleio gateway.

1.Is the value always set "1" on all type of traps?

2.Is there no difference among Scaleio gateway versions?

The why I'm asking:

I'm testing SNMP trap feature on v.2.0.0.2 with Netcool network manager as trap receiver.

I compiled and placed the mib file copied from Gateway node(/gateway/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/scaleio.mib) with Netcool, but it didn't make alert when trap came.

The condition seems below:

-Scaleio gateway sends traps with "Specific Trap Type = 1".

-The configuration on Netcool can receive the trap which is set "Specific Trap Type = 2".

I think I can solve it with configuring Netcool with "Specific Trap Type = 1",

but I'd like to confirm the value of "Specific Trap Type" field in all SNMP trap packets sent by Scaleio gateway is always "1".

Thank you.

Ichiro

Hello Ichiro,

From what I see in the ScaleIO User Guide, there are different types for various classes of the traps:

For example:

The following alerts can be sent as SNMP traps by the ScaleIO system.
 All events are numbered in the following format: SIO(CLASS).(TYPE).(ISSUE).
(...)

CLASS/TYPE:
System = 1
l Capacity = 1
l License = 2

MDM = 2
l MDM_Cluster = 1
l Protection_Domain = 2
l Fault_Set = 3

I guess you need to generate an alert which will trigger a trap with appropriate type.

Thank you,

Pawel
