SNMP requests

The TS4500 tape library allows requests from an SNMP manager running systems management software, such as Netview®.

IBM maintains a management information base (MIB) that contains configuration data for all IBM tape libraries. This allows you to gather configuration data for all IBM tape libraries being managed – local or remote, regardless of model – in a single operation.

The Get, GetNext, and GetBulk SNMP requests are supported. Set requests are not supported.

The following configuration data can be queried:
  • Frame or system configuration (frame or module)
  • Logical libraries
  • Drive configuration
  • Library configuration
  • VPD note card
  • Call home configuration
  • SNMP
  • Key manager
  • Drive encryption
  • SMTP configuration
  • Time configuration
  • User roles
  • Role access level
  • LDAP configuration
  • Ethernet configuration
