Colin,

just for giggles, I used your "walk" OIDs on my Win2008R2 VM, slowly reducing the OID until I got a return.

snmpwalk -v 2c -c <RO String> <IP address> 1.3.6.1.4.1

Is where I finally got a reading. Ending like this:

.1.3.6.1.4.1.9600.1.1.6.1.0 = No more variables left in this MIB View (It is past the end of the MIB tree)

Yours in getting into Compaq specific MIBs before it runs off the end of the MIB.

Try the walk this way and see if it goes further:

snmpwalk -v2c -c hpscada srv2008 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.3.2.3.1.1.2 -On

What it all means is walk is trying to increment the OID, guided by what it knows in the installed MIBs and stops getting returns. the addition tells 'walk to not translate the 
something approximating human language.

On my Dell systems, there is a sub-agent that has to be enabled to get readings from the RAID subsystem and MIBs for that have to be installed, unless I want to pol using raw OIDs
