How are the existing MIBs in the \MIBPOOL directory handled during an upgrade from ZFS 3.0.2 to ZFS 6.5 or ZSM 7.0.1?

Environment

Novell ZENworks 6.5 Server Management - ZfS65.
Novell ZENworks 7 Server Management Support Pack 1 - ZSM7 SP1
Novell Management and Monitoring Services.
Novell MIB Tool Administration.

Situation

After the upgrade from ZFS 3.0.2 to ZFS 6.5 / ZSM 7.0.1, not all MIBs are from the ZFS 6.5 / ZSM 7.0.1 install.
When compared to a fresh ZFS 6.5 / ZSM 7.0.1 MMS install, some MIBs are from the ZFS 3.0.2 MIB set.
After the upgrade from ZFS 3.0.2 to ZFS 6.5 / ZSM 7.0.1, the Alarm Disposition Table is missing Alarms that are seen in a fresh ZFS 6.5 MMS install Alarm Disposition Table.
The date and time stamp of the ZFS 3.0.2 MIBs is newer than the ZFS 6.5 / ZSM 7.0.1 MIBs.

Note:  Not all alarms available to MMS are seen in the Alarm Disposition Table after the install.  Some alarms are not listed till the functionality is configured, like 'Monitor Nodes for Inactivity' and Monitored Services, 'Send Alarms On Status Change'.  Be certain which MIB the alarm was from in ZFS 3.0.2 before looking for it in ZFS 6.5 / ZSM 7.0.1 and check which MIB is the compiled MIB after the upgrade.

Resolution

The install logic of the ZFS 6.5 / ZSM 7.0.1 MIB set is 'copy if newer' for MIBs that have the same name.  If the ZFS 3.0.2 MIB has been customized (edited) and the date and time stamp is newer than the ZFS 6.5 / ZSM 7.0.1 MMS MIBs, it will not be replaced.  If the customization is wanted in the ZFS 6.5 / ZSM 7.0.1 MIB, then the ZFS 6.5 / ZSM 7.0.1 MIB needs to be edited and compiled after the install.  You can get the ZFS 6.5 / ZSM 7.0.1 MIB from the install CDROM.

The same processes and behavior would apply to a ZFS 6.5 SP2 upgrade to ZSM 7.0.1

If the date and time stamp of the customized ZFS 3.0.2 MIB is still older than the ZFS 6.5 / ZSM 7.0.1 MIB, the ZFS 3.0.2 MIB will be replaced and the customization will have to be done manually (if you know what it was) after the install and a new compile done.  The bottom line is that customization of MIBs must be tracked and handled manually.

Note:  A backup copy of the \MIBPOOL directory is recommended before the ZFS 6.5 / ZSM 7.0.1 MMS install is performed.

Additional Information

Note:  Do not go by the MIB size in the MIBPOOL table in C1 (Properties of the Site Server).  Use a DOS box or GUI interface to view the date & time stamp of the MIBs.
