SNMPWALK should also return the IASP number in their result

SNMPWALK currently only return:
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.2 = STRING: Independent ASP
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr.3 = STRING: Independent ASP

When there are now more than one iASP on the system with the same size, it's hard to find out which is which. The command should also return the iASP number or better the iASP name.


Use Case:

Used for monitoring the iSeries via SNMP

    IBM believes that the request described has been solved and is available with these PTFs:

    SI63661 (IBM i 7.1)
    SI63662 (IBM i 7.2)
    SI63664 (IBM i 7.3)

    The PTF cover letter contains instructions to return the IASP number.

    These PTFs also implement auditing for SNMPv3. Additional information about the SNMPv3 auditing function can be found here: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1020901

    IBM agrees with the request and a solution appears to be desirable and feasible. IBM intends to provide a solution. However, IBM's plans may change and no commitment is made that a solution will be provided.

    IBM will use this request as input to planning but no commitment is made or implied.?? This request will be updated in the future if IBM implements it.

    IBM will use other customers' votes and comments to help prioritize this request.
