We have some PVX BTI 7000 optical shelves that we need to monitor for traps.

I snagged their latest MIB's and used addmib like I have in the past for other
MIBs and they don't import.

I don't get any errors when adding the mib, but this is the only line that shows up
in snmptt.conf:

MIB: BTI-MIB (file:./bti-oid.my) converted on Wed Apr 17 15:19:47 2013 using snmpttconvertmib v1.3

The whole mib is not very long:

BTI-MIB DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN

IMPORTS
MODULE-IDENTITY, enterprises
FROM SNMPv2-SMI;

btiMib MODULE-IDENTITY

END -- BTI TOP LEVEL OID REGISTRATION MODULE

Why wouldn't this MIB import? Or is there nothing in this MIB to really import?
When I try to actually add a full MIB for the gear I get two errors from addmib:

Cannot find module (BTI-MIB): At line 58 in ./bti7000.my
Cannot find module (BTI-TC-MIB): At line 70 in ./bti7000.my

BTI-TC-MIB also does the same thing as BTI-MIB. Addmib appears to add it but
I just end up with one line in snmptt.conf that is the same as what appears for
BTI-MIB.

I have opened a ticket with BTI, but thought I'd see if anyone might have a better
understanding what is wrong here.

Thanks.

Are these MIBs in the standard mib directory (usually /usr/share/snmp/mibs/ )?
It appears that the dependent MIBs BTI-MIB & BTI-TC-MIB cannot be found

No they were not in the the mib directory.

In previous uses of addmib, I could have sworn that they were added automatically to /usr/share/snmp/mibs
when I ran addmib <mib> before. All the mibs I use are in there though, but I have no recollection of adding
them to /usr/share/snmp/mibs.

I did check, and no they were not in the mib directory. I copied them over and reran addmib on all the mib
files and I did not get any errors.

Thanks,
Keith
