Re: RE: RFC 2790 MIB

Ray -

I have no idea what agents will or will not respond to queries for those 
variables.  I don't keep up with that -- only with NetView.
My advice is to ask AIX and SUN if no one else knows.

James.

I used the same method. I got the RFC from
http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2790.txt .

I'll try to get some help from Tivoli support. 

Can you tell me if I can use this mib to query AIX and Solaris 
filesystems?
Or will 
I require another agent to be loaded?

Thanks
Ray.
