Problem/Issue importing MIB net-snmp

New to the group and new to importing MIBS.  Please excuse.  MIB's are
posted below

 

The issue:  This is a newbie stuff so please refer me to the correct
place if this is not.  I am working with

a lab that uses fibre channel drives to boot from and am interested in
pulling performance metrics for these drives.

I followed the FAQ for adding a new MIB but not sure if it is working
correctly (mostly because I am new) and 

secondly because the output I am receiving following the faq exactly as
written using the CISCO-RHINO mib

does not return the expected values suggested in the FAQ.  This is a
binary distro on the following platforms I've tried:

 

Fedora Core 4

RHEl 3.0 WS Update 4

RHEL 4 WS Update 2

Whitebox 3.0

 

and I get the same result.  I spent most of yesterday trying to figure
it out and believe the majority of the

problem is my lack of knowledge of how it all fits together.  I've read
the all the FAQ's and docs which

actually did teach me a great deal but did not answer address my
questions.

 

1.  Is net-snmp able to use the FIBRE-CHANNEL-FE-MIB or the FCMGMT-MIB?

2.  Is there another MIB related to FIBRE Channel that I can use
instead?

3.  I've read several posts of web sites where you can download new MIBS
and install them but does it

    always require a rebuild of the net-snmp suite or custom code
writing?

 

 

Some details:

 

I've downloaded the FIBRE-CHANNEL-FE-MIB and a few others related to
FIBER Channel and add them to the 

/usr/share/snmp/mibs directory.  Then as a test set the environment
variable to MIBS=ALL.

 

I then use the snmptranslate -m +FIBRE-CHANNEL-FE-MIB -IR fcFxPortName

 

This returns:

 

FIBRE-CHANNEL-FE-MIB::fcFxPortName (Not a OID as the FAQ for adding MIBS
suggests) Is this correct?

 

Also snmpwalk -v2c -c readonlystringhere -localhost fcFxPortName

 

Returns

FIBRE-CHANNEL-FE-MIB::fcFxPortName = No Such Object available on this
agent at this OID

 

The above result is the same regardless of which MIB I try to import and
use.

 

Thanks for your time and would appreciate a little hand-holding the
first time through if anyone is willing.
