TABLE OBJECTS
Table hrStorageTable
Table Name hrStorageTable
In MIB HOST-RESOURCES-MIB
Registered at OID .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3

The (conceptual) table of logical storage areas on

the host.

An entry shall be placed in the storage table for each

logical area of storage that is allocated and has
fixed resource limits. The amount of storage
represented in an entity is the amount actually usable
by the requesting entity, and excludes loss due to
formatting or file system reference information.

These entries are associated with logical storage

areas, as might be seen by an application, rather than
physical storage entities which are typically seen by
an operating system. Storage such as tapes and
Table Description floppies without file systems on them are typically
not allocated in chunks by the operating system to
requesting applications, and therefore shouldn't
appear in this table. Examples of valid storage for
this table include disk partitions, file systems, ram
(for some architectures this is further segmented into
regular memory, extended memory, and so on), backing
store for virtual memory (`swap space').

This table is intended to be a useful diagnostic for

`out of memory' and `out of buffers' types of
failures. In addition, it can be a useful performance
monitoring tool for tracking memory, disk, or buffer
usage.

TEXTUAL CONVENTIONS
These TEXTUAL-CONVENTIONS are used in other parts of the document above. They are SNMP's way of defining a datatype
that is used repeatedly by other MIB objects. Any implementation implementing objects that use one of these definitions
must follow its DESCRIPTION clause as well as the DESCRIPTION clause of the object itself.

Name Type Description

Represents textual information taken from the NVT ASCII

character set, as defined in pages 4, 10-11 of RFC 854.
To summarize RFC 854, the NVT ASCII repertoire specifies:
- the use of character codes 0-127 (decimal)
- the graphics characters (32-126) are interpreted as
US ASCII
http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/docs/mibs/host.html 12/17
1/22/2014 Net-SNMP
- NUL, LF, CR, BEL, BS, HT, VT and FF have the special
meanings specified in RFC 854
DisplayString OCTETSTR - the other 25 codes have no standard interpretation
- the sequence 'CR LF' means newline
- the sequence 'CR NUL' means carriage-return
- an 'LF' not preceded by a 'CR' means moving to the
same column on the next line.
- the sequence 'CR x' for any x other than LF or NUL is
illegal. (Note that this also means that a
end with either 'CR LF' or 'CR NUL', but not
Any object defined using this syntax may not exceed 255
characters in length.

Represents an independently extensible type identification

value. It may, for example, indicate a particular sub-tree
AutonomousType OBJECTID with further MIB definitions, or define a particular type of
protocol or hardware.

This data type is used to model textual information

in some character set. A network management station
should use a local algorithm to determine which
character set is in use and how it should be
InternationalDisplayString OCTETSTR displayed. Note that this character set may be
encoded with more than one octet per symbol, but will
most often be NVT ASCII. When a size clause is
specified for an object of this type, the size refers
to the length in octets, not the number of symbols.

This textual convention is intended to identify the

manufacturer, model, and version of a specific
hardware or software product. It is suggested that
these OBJECT IDENTIFIERs are allocated such that all
products from a particular manufacturer are register
under a subtree distinct to that manufacturer. In
addition, all versions of a product should be
registered under a subtree distinct to that product.
With this strategy, a management station may uniquel
determine the manufacturer and/or model of a product
ProductID OBJECTID whose productID is unknown to the management station
Objects of this type may be useful for inventory
purposes or for automatically detecting
incompatibilities or version mismatches between
various hardware and software components on a system
For example, the product ID for the ACME 4860 66MHz
clock doubled processor might be:
enterprises.acme.acmeProcessors.a4860DX2.MHz66
A software product might be registered as:
enterprises.acme.acmeOperatingSystems.acmeDOS.six(6)

KBytes INTEGER32 Storage size, expressed in units of 1024 bytes.

A date-time specification.
field octets contents range
----- ------ -------- -----
1 1-2 year* 0..6553
2 3 month 1..12
3 4 day 1..31
4 5 hour 0..23
5 6 minutes 0..59
6 7 seconds 0..60
(use 60 for leap-second)
7 8 deci-seconds 0..9
DateAndTime OCTETSTR
8 9 direction from UTC '+' / '
9 10 hours from UTC* 0..13
10 11 minutes from UTC 0..59
* Notes:
- the value of year is in network-byte order
- daylight saving time in New Zealand is +13
For example, Tuesday May 26, 1992 at 1:30:15 PM EDT would be
displayed as:
1992-5-26,13:30:15.0,-4:0

information (fields 8-10) is not present.

TruthValue Represents a boolean value.

This textual convention is an extension of the

InterfaceIndex convention. The latter defines a greater
than zero value used to identify an interface or interface
sub-layer in the managed system. This extension permits the
InterfaceIndexOrZero INTEGER32 additional value of zero. the value zero is object-specific
and must therefore be defined as part of the description of
any object which uses this syntax. Examples of the usage of
zero might include situations where interface was unknown,
or when none or all interfaces need to be referenced.
