Dell SNMP - Windows vs. Linux

dsm_sa_datamgr32d is stopped
dsm_sa_eventmgr32d is stopped
dsm_sa_snmp32d is stopped

These 3 services need to be running to get SNMP

Subject: Dell SNMP - Windows vs. Linux

Greetings all,

I am on a newfound mission across my network to get SNMP working
properly on every device in an attempt to use some great management
tools.  I had been relatively lax about SNMP in the past, so I have a
lot of catching up to do ?  One thing that I have found recently is
confusing me a bit, and that is the way that my Windows servers react to
SNMP vs my Linux servers.  Please allow me to cite an example:

PowerEdge server running Windows 2003 with OMSA installed, snmp enabled:

# snmpget -v2c -c xxxxx windows-box
.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.300.10.1.11.1
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.674.10892.1.300.10.1.11.1 = STRING: "XXX111"


PowerEdge server running RHEL4 with OMSA installed, snmp enabled:

# snmpget -v2c -c xxxxx linux-box .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.300.10.1.11.1
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.674.10892.1.300.10.1.11.1 = No Such Object
available on this agent at this OID


As you can see, the Windows machine properly responds to my request for
it's service tag information, whereas the linux box is not aware of this
oid?  I have downloaded the dell MIBs (10892.mib) and placed it in
/usr/share/snmp/mibs/, however I _believe_ this has more to do with
being able to call the OID by name instead of number, and not with
responding to a request for information.

I also believe that my problem has something to do with net-SNMP, but
I'm not sure what exactly.  Am I missing something easy, or is this
somehow not available in linux environments?  Below is some more
information regarding the RHEL4 linux box, but please note as well that
I have tried this with the exact same results on a newer CentOS 4.4 box
with OMSA 5.1 installed.

Thank you in advance, I am a bit lost at this point!
