Justin,
You are loading an SNMP v2 MIB. In the header it will tell you the other
MIBs from which it IMPORTS definitions. So they have to be loaded before
the loader can resolve the definitions in this MIB. And this is a recursive
procedure.
If you are loading the RFC 2790 version of the Host Resources MIB, it will
tell you in the header that it IMPORTS the following 4 MIBS:
SNMPv2-SMI
SNMPv2-TC
SNMPv2-CONF
IF-MIB
For a start, it imports the definition of mib-2 from SNMPv2-SMI. The top of
the Host Resources MIB is a node called "host" which is anchored at 25
below mib-2. Without that it cannot resolve any symbols in the Host
Resources MIB and you will get a large number of nodes left out.
I would unload this MIB and then load the imported ones first in order,
then retry it. Your list of left out nodes should vanish.
You specifically want to load a v2 version of this MIB, right?
There is a v1 version of it, shipped with NetView. It's in the snmp_mibs
directory as rfc1514-HOST, it does not requires these imports, and
xnmloadmib and xnmbrowser will handle it with no problem.

Hi All,
When I load a MIB, host-resources-mib.mib, into Netview using xnmloadmib2,
I get this warning message in STDOUT:
____________________________________________________________
root@esmdnv1.tivoli.bankone.net</> /usr/OV/bin/xnmloadmib2
Warning: The mib description doesn't seem to be consistent.
Some nodes couldn't be linked under the "iso" tree.
These nodes are left:
<long list of nodes "left out" in MIB>
____________________________________________________________
I can ignore those warnings, but when I browse the MIB tree in the GUI and
try to add a MIB value to collect (xnmcollect -> Add -> MIB Object
Selection), alot of the MIB values from above-mentioned MIB (e.g.
hrDeviceDescr) have the "OK" button "greyed-out"; not allowing me to
select them for collection. I don't know whether this is related to the
warnings from the MIB load above or not.
Any ideas?
TIA,
