Long strings of numbers appear in the SNMP manager

This condition occurs when the MIB files are not installed in your SNMP manager application.

Problem

Only long strings of numbers appear in the SNMP manager (for example, 1.2.3.208.2.3.0.1).

Action

Copy Services Manager uses management information base (MIB) files to provide a textual description of each SNMP alert that is sent by Copy Services Manager. You must configure the SNMP manager to use both the SYSAPPL-MIB.mib and ibm-CSM.mib files. These files are on the installation DVD in the replication\CSM-Client\etc directory. Follow the directions that are provided by your SNMP manager application to configure it to use the MIB files.
