Using SNMP to view or change HCP settings

You can use the fields HCP-MIB and other MIBs to view and, when allowed, change HCP settings. The interface you use for these activities depends on your SNMP tool. Here are examples of viewing and changing HCP settings with the command-line tool net-snmp:

To view the total storage capacity of the HCP system:

Command: snmpget -v 2c -c public -m +/usr/share/snmp/mibs/HCP-MIB.txt
snmp.hcp-ma.example.com HCP-MIB::totalCapacity.0

Response: HCP-MIB::totalCapacity.0 = Counter64: 562110914560

To set the shredding rate to low:

Command: snmpset -v 2c -c public -m +/usr/share/snmp/mibs/HCP-MIB.txt
snmp.hcp-ma.example.com HCP-MIB::shreddingRate.0 i 5000

Response: HCP-MIB::shreddingRate.0 = INTEGER: low(5000)

net-snmp is a publicly available tool. You can download it from http://www.net-snmp.org.
