Dell PowerVault ML6000 Basic SNMP Reference Guide 77
SNMP Traps
This section describes the basic set of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) system status traps 
issued by the library. Traps pertain to the entire library, not specific modules or partitions.
Traps defined in the Tape Library Management Information Base (MIB) are issued with enterprise OID “Dell 
Tape Library MIB”, which resolves to 1.3.6.1.4.1.3764.1.10.10. 
NOTE: The ML6000 library supports SNMP v1 and v2 traps as defined by RFC 
1157.
Table 1 Status Traps 
Trap ID Trap Description
1 tapeLibNotifyStart Starting
Indicates that the tape library has started running.
2 tapeLibNotifyShutdown Shutting down
Indicates that the library is in the process of being shut 
down.
3 tapeLibNotifyRestart Restarting
Indicates that the library has been restarted. This does 
not imply anything about whether the configuration has 
changed or not (unlike the standard coldStart or 
warmStart traps).
101 startupSequenceCompleted Startup Sequence Completed
Indicates that the library startup sequence has 
completed.
102 shutdownSequenceInitiated Shutdown Sequence Initiated
Indicates that the library has started its shutdown 
sequence.
a. The library issues a trap whenever the aggregate state of one of the Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) status
groups changes. Listening for these traps (rather than querying for them) is the preferred method of monitoring the
health of the library.
