Error description
Error Description: When an attempt to modify a mib variable that's used for issuing commands through SNMP, the following error is received:: $ snmpinfo -m set -c private -h 127.0.0.1 \ ibmAdsmServerScript1.1=QUERY_DB invalid value for variable "ibmAdsmServerScript1.1": "QUERY_DB" - snmpinfo -m get work $ snmpinfo -m get -c private -h 127.0.0.1 \ ibmAdsmServerScript1.1 ibmAdsmServerScript1.1 = "" The problem is that some definitions in the file adsmserv.mib should be defined as DisplayString instead of "OctetString" for DataType. As an OctetString, data must be entered as such i. e. the literal "QUERY_DB" must be given as a chain of ASCII codes like this: 51:55:45:52:5b:5f:44:42. This argument (ASCII code) is accepted and processed correctly.
Local fix
Changing in the mib file the DataType from OctetString to DisplayString will work and the data can be passed as literal (i.e. QUERY_DB). Versions Affected: Tivoli Storage Manager 6.x on all platform Customer/L2 Diagnostics (If Applicable) Initial Impact: Low Additional Keywords:mib invalid value octetstring ibmAdsmServerScript1.1
