What Version of AIX are you running? I have been looking for such a MIB as well (we use AIX 5.1). My recent research has found, I believe, that this mib was introduced and only supported in AIX 5.2. I haven't had the time to research this completely, so don't quote me, I could be mistaken.

Where did you get aixmib.my? 
 If the rest us knew what the source was, perhaps someone else could try 
it. 

The rest of your questions 
betray some kind of misunderstanding about MIBs and traps. 

First, there are three mibloaders and browsers in NetView 
for Windows.  Only two of those will support SNMP V2 MIBs, and usually, a 
MIB file name of ".my" is for SNMP V2.  You can probably load such a MIB 
with loadmibv2 or the java loader for the web client, mibloader.bat.  Once 
loaded you can browser it with browserv2 or the java browser for the web client, 
mibbrowser,bat. 

Second, loading MIBs 
has little to do with traps.  In order for the contents of the MIB to be 
used to format a trap, you must first run mib2trap on the MIB file, and then run 
the output bat file it creates to add the trap to NetView.  This  does 
not happen automatically. 

Finally, 
the agent on your AIX box must send his traps in SNMP V1 format. You can receive 
any SNMP V1 trap using the NetView for Windows product, but NetView for Windows 
does not support  SNMP V2 traps at all.  They will be discarded and 
never show up in the Event Browser.  If you don't know which the agent will 
send, you could direct it to send to NetView anyway.  If you see something 
in the Event Browser from that agent, then you can use mib2trap to format it, if 
you like.
