HP/Compaq Physical/Free mem problem

[adrabkin]

Does anyone have the issue in an HP server where the Physical memory and free memory OID queries come back with low numbers? It seems as though all my servers with memory > 4GB return with odd sizes.

Here are the results on one server with 8GB running win2k Advanced Svr:
OID: .1.3.6.1.4.1.232.11.2.13.1 returns 4032 for Physical mem size
OID: .1.3.6.1.4.1.232.11.2.13.2 returns 298 for Physical mem free

On another server with 8GB running win2k3 Enterprise:
OID: .1.3.6.1.4.1.232.11.2.13.1 returns 3008 for Physical mem size
OID: .1.3.6.1.4.1.232.11.2.13.2 returns 158 for Physical mem free

interestingly enough through an SNMP browser (Getif) I was able to find the following OID: .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.2.0 (host.hrstroage.hrMemorySize.0) which returns the correct size for total installed memory. Now I just need to find another OID that provides the available mem, or even mem used.

Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone else know of another OID for the correct Physical Free Mem?


Thanks

I haven't found one native to the MS SNMP agent, so I use a WMI script for memory queries.

Yeah... I was beginning to lean towards that. I posted the question on th HP forums to see what they come up with.

Thanks for the input!
