Cannot add the MIB file to the SNMP manager

This condition occurs when the prerequisite management information base (MIB) files are not installed in your SNMP manager application.

Problem

Prerequisite MIB files must be installed in your SNMP manager application for the Copy Services Manager MIB file to function correctly. Copy Services Manager uses MIB files to provide a textual description of each SNMP alert that is sent by Copy Services Manager.

Action

Follow instructions that are provided by your SNMP manager application to configure the SNMP manager to use both the SYSAPPL-MIB.mib and ibm-CSM.mib files. These MIB files are in the path_prefix/liberty/wlp/usr/servers/csmServer/etc directory for distributed systems, and the path_prefix/opt/IBM/CSM/wlp/usr/servers/csmServer/etc directory for z/OS systems.
