IBM FLASH SYSTEM Monitoring

Hello All,

I’m using Check_MK Raw 2.1 0p9 and I need to monitor IBM Flash System devices. I’ve configured them via SNMP, but Check_MK isn’t detecting them and is throwing a timeout error. The storage team assures me that I’ve already configured the SNMPv3 community on the devices.
I’ve configured a rule called IBM SVC/V7000 storage systems, but it’s not working.
The devices are: IBM Flashsystem 7200

I ran the following command: ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -f ~/.ssh/id_ibmflash -N "" to create a key on the Check_MK server with the OMD user, but the rule I mentioned doesn’t ask for the key, only a user.

Is there any special configuration for these types of devices?

SMPv3 error:
SNMP Error on 0.0.0.0: snmpbulkwalk: Timeout (Exit-Code: 1)

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Vix

Please don’t use any specific name for this key. The agent accepts any default key name.
If you have already a “id_rsa” file for instance inside your site, then use this key on the storage system for authentication of the CMK user.

Just trying to understand why you are using SSH if the guys tells you to use SNMP?
