Management server and system of servers with SNMP proxy functions including IOD conversion

摘要

A server system (13) has a function to send management information in response to a management information transmission order from an external manager (1) as well as relates to a server which is a component of the server system. It is capable of acquiring object management information by specifying the same object ID both when a manager acquires server management information via a management section and when the manager instructs a server directly to send management information. Not only the management section, but also the servers use SNMP proxy functions. Also, the same objects as those defined in the MIB tree of the management section are defined in the MIB tree of each server and SNMP proxy settings are made for each server in such a way as to convert the OIDs of the defined objects into desired OIDs in the MIB tree of the server itself.
