A Management Information Base (MIB) is a file that contains information that enables you to correctly interpret specific information from systems on your network and gives you a more precise view of the activity on your network. To take advantage of this capability, the MIB must be registered to HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM). Refer to Managing MIBs - Registering a MIB for more information.

HP has defined MIBs for its systems, and these MIBs expose the rich management infrastructure that HP builds into its products. HP MIBs are already registered in the HP SIM database. You can find them in the directory \hp\system insight manager\mibs on a Windows CMS or opt\mx\mibs on a UNIX CMS. If you have third-party systems on your network, you can register the MIBs that accompany the systems. Refer to Managing MIBs - Registering a MIB for more information regarding registering your MIBs. Registering allows the MIBs to be identified correctly and traps can be interpreted correctly to give you a more precise view of the activity on your network. Always register the most recent version of a third-party MIB.
