Chapter 13 651
Each event is marked with an Enterprise Event ID (EID) used to
designate the type of entity that has sent the event. The EID for the
events, sent by the OpenView entity, is “.1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.17.1”.
• Generic Event ID
Each event is also marked with a Generic Event ID (GID). For
standard SNMP traps, the GID tells ovtrapd which standard SNMP
trap was generated. For other types of events, the GID is 6, meaning
that the sending entity has used a Specific Event ID to further qualify
the event. Data Protector uses GID 6 only.
• Specific Event ID
Events with GID=6 are also marked with a Specific Event ID (SID).
The use of SIDs allows enterprises to define their own custom set of
event definitions. (59047936, used by Data Protector, is the number
for the Application Alert traps which is a subtype of the existing
SNMP-Traps for the HP OpenView traps.)
• Variables
The Table 13-2 on page 651 shows the format of SNMP traps sent by
Data Protector together with exemplary values.
