Trap variables in VCS MIB

Traps sent by VCS are reversible to SNMPv2 after an SNMPv2 -> SNMPv1 conversion.

For reversible translations between SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 trap PDUs, the second-last ID of the SNMP trap OID must be zero. This ensures that once you make a forward translation (SNMPv2 trap -> SNMPv1; RFC 2576 Section 3.2), the reverse translation (SNMPv1 trap --> SNMPv2 trap; RFC 2576 Section 3.1) is accurate.

The VCS notifier follows this guideline by using OIDs with second-last ID as zero, enabling reversible translations.

severityId

This variable indicates the severity of the trap being sent. It can take the following values:

Severity Level and Description

Value in Trap PDU

Information 

Important events exhibiting normal behavior 

Warning 

Deviation from normal behavior 

Error 

A fault 

Severe Error 

Critical error that can lead to data loss or corruption 

entityType and entitySubType

These variables specify additional information about the entity.

Entity Type

Entity Sub-type

Resource  

String. For example, disk. 

Group 

The type of the group: 

  • Failover
  • Parallel

System 

String. For example, Solaris 2.8. 

Heartbeat  

The type of the heartbeat. 

VCS  

String 

GCO 

String 

Agent name 

Agent name 

entityState

This variable describes the state of the entity.
