uploading SNMP MIB files - discovery_snmp_mib vs. ecc_agent_mib?

[haldroid]

I'm trying to teach discovery about our HP Blade Chassis units. There are two modules where you can upload MIBs to ServiceNow and they point to different tables:

1. Discovery Definition > SNMP MIBs points to Discovery SNMP MIB [discovery_snmp_mib]
2. MID Server > SNMP MIBs points to MID Server MIB File [ecc_agent_mib]

What are the rules for when a MIB file should be uploaded to either of these? Thank you.

Thanks! Using your SNMP tutorial video on this forum and notes from Aleck's Disco 201 session at K12, we have discovered our first HP blade enclosure, including identification based on serial number. We are now in position to automate tracking CI relationships between blades and the chassis that hold them. (It was a little tricky because sysDescr and sysObjectID identify the HP management firmware, but chassis serial number and other device info are under Compaq cpqSystemInfo MIBs.)

I'll probably have a couple more questions on whether we did it the right way 🙂

Way to go, haldroid!

Would you be able to share some of the details on how you handled blade enclosures in the CMDB? I've been working with this for a while and created a new class called "Blade Enclosure", but we're struggling with the best way to represent what is contained within the enclosure.

Thanks for any info you can share.
