[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] Re: SNMP trapsMark, I'm new to the iSCSI MIB effort, but I'll toss out some suggestions... I think we should trap iSCSI Session terminations, except those accomplished via Logout. I know this might result in traps for "normal" events, like when someone powers off their initiator instead of shutting down gracefully. If we want to get fancy, we could send them conditionally, e.g., only trap if there were any incomplete commands or undelivered responses at the time the session terminated. Trapping iSCSI connection terminations would be interesting too, especially to implementations which allow multiple connections per session. Loss of a connection could mean loss of capacity or reduced reliability of a session, which could be reflected on the management station display. This may already be covered by the TCP MIB (I haven't checked yet), but coordinating a TCP trap with iSCSI objects would be more difficult than having an iSCSI trap. It would also be helpful to trap changes to a target's LU list, and/or LUN mappings. Minimally, a simple trap to notify the manager that a change occurred would be enough to prompt the management station to do the GETs to refresh its tables.

You are the first to really ask for them. Trapping the login and authentication failures seems like a good idea; do you have any other ideas or requirements? Thanks, Mark
