Pulling SNMP Info from a Console Server

[DCIM_Support]

Can we pull SNMP information from PDUS's that are serially attached to an Avocent ACS?

Hi Sean,

SNMP information from a PDU is not available through it's serial interface, only using the network interface. You may be able to use the command line interface or CLI. Documentation can be found here.

Hi Sean!

Yes, you can, not from PDU's, but from ACS, wich collect this info. There are some parameters related to PDU in ACS MIB.

You need to load DDF file to DCE server and discover device.

In order to obtain DDF you should contact multivendorsupport@apc.com.

Yes, you can...but still, that's giving you console port server info , not the PDU info which is I believe what Sean was looking for.

Yes, but it collect info from PDU, and can show some values. I'm assume that Avocent PDU is used. ACS allow to control Avocent and Emerson PDU's serially connected and collect data from them. In other case ACS cant collect data from PDUs.

...then you'll have to check out the MIB for the Avocent device. I don't know the device specifically but I would assume that since you can connect anything to the serial ports of the console port server, they can't have PDU specific info available for all ports but I can not say with 100% confidence.

Thank you for your replies.

It is a correct statement that the Avocent ACS collects the PDU data.

See picture below

Once I upload the DDF file to DCE, how would I associate each individual PDU in DCO?

Unfortunately, you cant associate PDUs in DCO, because device association requires that each device have it's own IP address. And you will have one device with some sensors that reflect PDU state. I recommend you to watch this question for workaround: http://dcimsupport.apc.com/questions/104174247/cannot-see-child-sensor-in-parent-device-ip-
