Power consuption via snmp
Hi all,
is it possible to monitor the power consumtion of EMC storage devices ( CX5, CX340 , CX480) via snmp traps.
We need that infos for our datacenter.
I know, that our HP Blad enclosure will send this values,
cheers Ralf

Power consumption is usually monitored through SNMP polling rather than traps, as traps are more for notifications when a metric threshold is crossed. The power consumption metric is not supported in the polling set as far as I know.

Currently CLARiiON or VNX does not support this.
Usually most UPS have this feature, maybe you can monitor it from UPS if it is connected to your storage.

Thank you for response, but I'm searching for a SNMP GET command, so that I can we can monitor it with our GridVis Database, like all the other equipment (HP enclosure C7000, HDS, AIX Power7 ....)
for example:
C7000 OIDs

A SNMP GET is client-driven polling for information, whereas a SNMP Trap is an alert sent from the array to the monitoring system when a threshold is breached.
As Roger_Wu stated, this is not supported on the CLARiiON or VNX platform. This has been a limitation of the EMC line for some time. If you have to have functionality like this, you will have to buy their expensive, proprietary monitoring application suite.
Since you know how to do a SNMP GET, you don't have to take our word for it. Check out your arrays. You'll see that pretty much all that you can monitor with SNMP polling on EMC arrays is network bandwidth on the NICs (FC HBAs not included).
