-
- A. Folder Contents and Overview
- =================================
- This folder contains
- Intel Client Instrumentation for DMI Ver 3.0
- for:
- Microsoft* Windows NT* 4.0 with Service Pack 3 including NDIS HotFix
- or with a subsequent Service Pack
- Windows* 95 (NDIS drivers only)
- Windows 98 and
- Windows 2000.
-
- This folder contains the MIF and MIB files your management software will
- need to view in order to view the Intel(r) adapter functions.
-
- The DMI 2.0 SP SDK v1.10 (Service Provider) setup program is located
- under DMI-SNMP\Win32_SP on the CD. This must be installed prior to the
- Intel Client Instrumentation for DMI Version 3.0
-
- The Intel DMI 2.0 Service Provider (SP) and Client Instrumentation
- 3.0 for Windows (CI) are updated software modules that
- allow standards-based DMI 2.0 and SNMP management applications,
- including Intel's LANDesk(R) Client Manager, to monitor the status
- of PCI adapters. The drivers included in this folder can be
- used to view both single adapter information and custom information
- on the latest features of Intel adapters including AFT/ALB
- Teaming, VLAN, and Flow Control. SNMP support is not available for
- Windows 9x (limited to Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000). Otherwise,
- the DMI and SNMP information available is identical since the SNMP
- information is derived via an approved DMI to SNMP mapping technique.
- The only difference is that DMI applications read the included MIF
- file and SNMP applications read the included MIB files.
-
- B. Software Requirements and Install File Locations
- ====================================================
- The software requirements to run the Intel DMI 2.0 Service Provider
- and Client Instrumentation are:
-
- - A Windows 9x or NT based operating system including Windows 2000.
-
- - Microsoft's SNMP Service (installed and running)
- SNMP Service for Win 98 is on the Windows98 CD at \Tools\Reskit\Netadmin\SNMP
-
- - Any Intel NDIS PCI adapter driver. Intel Client Instrumentation
- supports all Intel PCI PRO/100, PRO/100+ and PRO/1000 adapters.
- If you are running an NDIS based driver under Windows NT 4.0, there
- is no need to install any new drivers to get DMI and SNMP support.
- However, if you are planning to use adapter teaming features
- including AFT and ALB, you must use the latest NDIS drivers as
- provided on the adapter CD.
-
- The Service Provider must be installed before the Client
- Instrumentation. If you have a Service Provider later than Version
- 2.0 already installed, you do not need to install the Service
- Provider from this CD.
-
- To install the Intel Client Instrumentation:
- - Make sure the SNMP Service is started (Check in the Services list)
- - Run DMI-SNMP\WIN32_SP\SETUP.EXE (to install the Service Provider)
- - Restart the system. This is required for the Service Provider to start.
- - Run DMI-SNMP\WIN32\INSTALL.EXE (to install the Client Instrumentation)
- - Restart the computer if prompted. The programs may show installed
- but they will not run correctly until any requested reboots are done.
- (They may also be installed through Windows Control Panel Add/Remove Programs.)
-
- Contact your Network Administrator if you need help with installation.
-
- To install the actual MIB and MIF provided information for the Intel
- adapter, you must use your Management Software (see Section E).
-
-
- C. Uninstall Procedure
- ======================
- To properly uninstall the Client Instrumentation, the Service
- Provider software must still be running. Then go to
- Add/Remove Software in the Windows Control Panel and select
- "Intel Client Instrumentation for DMI and SNMP" and click the
- Remove button.
- After Intel Client Instrumentation is gone from this list, you
- may remove the Service Provider software through the Start Programs
- menu. MIBs and MIFs usually do not require removal, but if you should
- wish to remove the Intel specific files, see the documentation
- for your Management application.
-
-
- D. Compilation (Installation) of the MIF/MIB Files
- ===================================================
- SNMP:
- In order to access the Intel adapter specific data through the Intel
- Client Instrumentation, you must use your management application to
- load (compile) the following files:
- - INTEL.MIB
- - DMTF-DMI.MIB,
- - INTELNIC.MIB
- (all located in the \DMI-SNMP\WIN32 directory).
-
- The DMTF-DMI.MIB and INTEL.MIB files should be loaded before
- loading INTELNIC.MIB.
- If you have already installed another version of INTEL.MIB, use the
- INTEL.MIB with the most recent file date. Read the documentation for
- your management application for more information on how to load MIB
- files.
- If you receive an error message when trying to compile these
- MIB files, it may be that your management software may not include
- sufficient or recent enough supporting MIB files. Please contact your
- management application provider if you believe this is the case.
-
- DMI:
- In order to access the Intel adapter specific data through the Intel
- Client Instrumentation, you may need to load the NI_NIC.MIF file.
-
- Read the documentation for your management application for more
- information on how to load MIF files.
-
- E. Supported Standards
- ======================
- The Intel Client Instrumentation Version 2.0 fully supports the DMI
- 2.0 specification and has support for Ether-Like SNMP MIB files.
-
- At this time there are no user SETs. There are sets in the
- IBM Failover Adapter Table Group that are required by the IBM
- Hotplug process but there is no user set allowed.
-
- Only the following events listed in the ni_nic.mif and
- intelnic.mib are currently supported:
- - Cable unplugged/No LAN activity
- - Adapter initialization failure
- - AFT/ALB events (Adapter Fault Tolerance/Adaptive Load Balancing)
-
- F. New Features in this Release
- ===============================
-
- - DMI Events and SNMP Traps
- - Support for AFT/ALB management (Windows NT 4 and Windows 2000 only)
- - Support for VLAN management (Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 only)
- - Support for Flow Control and TCO management
- - Support for specifying custom solutions and thresholds in
- the NI_NIC.DAT file in the system directory.
-
-
- G. Specific Application Notes:
- ==============================
-
- 1. In HP* OpenView* Network Node Manager*, use "Event Config" to configure
- the events.
- For example, to configure the "Cable Unplugged" event,
- - select "intelNICHEALTHEvt2",
- - then go to the "Modify Events" menu item.
- - select the Action as "Log and Display in Category" and
- - specify an appropriate category.
- - Then in the Event Log message, enter "Cable unplugged $*".
-
-
- H. Known Issues
- ===============
-
- 1. In order to use Hewlett Packard* OpenView* Network Node Manager*
- with the Intel Client Instrumentation, you must use Ver 6.0 or later
- or Release 5.0x with consolidated patch NM_00046.EXE. This patch can
- be downloaded from:
- http://ovweb.external.hp.com/cpe/patches/index.html
-
- 2. Known Problems in Installation and Uninstallation Order:
- a. To remove the Intel DMI 2.0 Service Provider after installing the
- Intel Client Instrumentation, you must uninstall the Intel Client
- Instrumentation first.
-
- b. Version 3.0 of the Intel Client Instrumentation may not install
- correctly over an existing Version 1.0 of the Intel DMI
- Network Adapter Instrumentation Layer. The Uninstall feature may
- not work correctly after upgrading so please uninstall Ver 1.0
- BEFORE upgrading. In order to install Version 3.0 correctly,
- please use the documented Uninstall procedures for Version 1.0.
-
- c. If the TCP/IP protocol is removed after installing the Client
- Instrumentation, you must reinstall the Client Instrumentation
- again after you reinstall TCP/IP.
-
- d. If your Microsoft SNMP Service is removed after installing the
- Client Instrumentation, you must reinstall the Client Instrumentation
- after you reinstall the Microsoft SNMP Service.
-
- e. With Windows NT 4.0 SP3 and SP4, if you install Microsoft SNMP
- Service after installing the Service Pack, you may receive the
- error "Entrypoint SnmpSvcGetEnterpriseOID could not be located
- in snmpapi.dll."
- To fix the problem, you will need to reinstall that Service Pack
- or preferably install the latest Service Pack available.
- (This is a known and documented issue with Service Pack 3 and 4.
- Details are available from Microsoft at:
- http://support.microsoft.com/support/ntserver/content/servicepacks/
- readme.asp Read the section under 3.0 USER NOTES, 3.2 Adding New
- Components to the System.)
- Another Microsoft noted error associated with Service Pack 4 and
- fixed in Service Pack 5 is "SNMP.EXE Exception: access violation.."
