I am looking to monitor disk I/O of my fiber channel attached drives using SNMP. Has anyone here done this before and if so how. I am more interested in disk performance than I am disk space.
 
Your fiber channel device would need an SNMP agent. Contact the vendor.

I guess being new to SNMP this is where the confusion lies. I have the FIBRE-CHANNEL-FE-MIB and have added the mib according to the instructions on the net-snmp web site however I am not getting what I expected. I have read the FAQ and REAME's and surfed the web most of the day trying to get a handle on it but not working at this point. Should I be able to use net-snmp with this MIB without compiling my own agent? Is net-snmp the agent?

Thanks for the response. Need more data.

You need a SNMP program to work with the .mib. Tivoli, etc.

Thanks Bocca,

What started all of this off as using rrdtool and cacti to monitor system performance using SNMP. Is there a to use net-snmp to monitor this MIB?

Not sure. I have only used Tivoli. I did find a good program for the W operating system that was free, but I don't have the hardware or the program any more.

what is the best filesystem 'type' to use if I plan to use a filesystem with quotas enabled???
 
Rejohn,

I would suggest that you post this question as new thread to get everyones attention as this is a thread related to snmp and fiber channel performance. Given that, I have used both ext3 very well and reiserfs with the 2.6 kernel. You can enable quota support for 2.4 kernels with a patch.
