Citrix ADC MPX 5550 User Manual

Citrix ADC MPX
Whenever the ADC MIB is unable to report these warnings, because of hardware or soware failure,
the LOM MIB monitors and reports the warnings. The LOM microcontroller operates independently of
the Citrix ADC soware. To monitor the hardware and soware of the Citrix ADC appliance, you must
use both the ADC MIB and the LOM MIB.
The ADC IPMI LOM hardware management MIB SNMP firmware runs on the BMC microcontroller chip.
The BMC chip CPU sends a warning in the case of a hardware failure, regardless of whether any of
the preceding conditions occur. For example, if the BIOS halts the system during boot-up because of
a memory DIMM failure, the BMC chip uses the BIOS POST code snooping mechanism to detect the
failure. And then sends a bad DIMM SNMP alert.
You can log on to the LOM port to view the health information about the appliance. All system sensor
information, such as system temperature, CPU temperature, and status of fans and power supplies,
appears on the sensor readings page. The Event Log records time stamps of routine events such as a
power cycle, in addition to recording hardware-failure events. If SNMP traps are enabled, these events
can be sent to your SNMP Network Monitoring soware. For more information about how to set up
an SNMP alert, see Configuring SNMP Alerts.
1. In the Menu bar, click System Health.
2. Under Options, click Sensor Readings.
Install the MIB
Download the IPMI SNMP management information base (MIB) for your LOM firmware version, and
import it into the SNMP monitoring soware.
For a sample configuration, see http://www.net-snmp.org/tutorial/tutorial-5/commands/snmptrap.
html. For the exact steps of this procedure specific to your environment, contact your SNMP network
monitoring soware provider.
Configure SNMP alerts
You can configure SNMP alerts on the LOM. Optionally, you can configure an alert to send emails.
To configure the alerts, you can use the LOM GUI or the Citrix ADC shell.
Configure SNMP alerts on the LOM by using the GUI
1. Download the IPMI View utility from ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/utility/IPMIView/ and install it on
your computer. Use this utility to test the configuration. For more information, see the section
about configuring the alert settings in the IPMI View User Guide at http://supermicro.com.
2. Open the IPMI View utility.
3. In the LOM GUI, navigate to Configuration > Alerts, click Alert No 1, and then click Modify.
