Luc -
I am not certain what you think is broken here. If you believe that
mibtable is not working correctly, then please open a problem to Support.

James,
Thanks for handling my questions.
I understood the "-inst" purpose, and it works perfectly well in the
following
sample :
/usr/OV/bin/mibtable -table .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1 -fields
Name=3:25,Size=5:11,Used=6:11 -inst 1,2 -node <nodename>
where I get the first two instances of the hrStorageTable. But my concern
was with
the sentence "Also, an asterisk (*) can be used as a pattern-matching
character at
the end of an instance." extracted from the man pages...
