Monitoring Dell Boxes via SNMP (CentOS 5.1 x86)

[Baird, Josh]

Sorry if this might be a bit off-topic, as I am not sure it can be
isolated to Dell servers only.  I have seen this problem mentioned on
the list before, but there was no solution as far as I know, and it was
stated that it was only a problem with Xen kernels, which I am not
running.  I recently updated two CentOS 5.1 boxes (with yum update) last
week.  Ever since then, net-snmp seems to be crashing (net-snmp was not
updated).  

 

I can snmpwalk the device, and then snmpd will stop responding.  I see
these errors in messages:

 

Linux fc-netops 2.6.18-8.1.8.el5.centos.plus #1 SMP Mon Jul 16 08:49:50
EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

 

Feb  4 03:15:27 fc-netops snmpd[24166]: NET-SNMP version 5.3.1

Feb  4 03:15:28 fc-netops snmpd[24166]: ipSystemStatsTable node
ipSystemStatsOutFragOKs not implemented: skipping

Feb  4 03:15:28 fc-netops snmpd[24166]: ipSystemStatsTable node
ipSystemStatsOutFragOKs not implemented: skipping

 

The only way to get SNMPD to start responding again is to restart it,
and it will again die.  I have never had these problems with any of my
other CentOS4/5/5.1 x86 or x86_64 boxes.  Both of these boxes (PowerEdge
1750's) are also running OMSA 5.2.0.

 

Has anyone seen this problem?

 

Thanks,

 

Josh
