Just add a LoadMibs: line to your config and include the mib file that
contains hrStorage.  I think that's HOST-RESOURCES-MIB. I use symbolic
names almost exclusively.  Here is my LoadMibs: statement (note - only
one line allowed, and only one LoadMibs statement allowed.  Also, the
order is important...)

LoadMibs: /usr/share/snmp/mibs/CISCO-SMI-V1SMI.my /usr/share/snmp/mibs/CISCO-TC-V1SMI.my /usr/share/snmp/mibs/CISCO-PROCESS-MIB.my /usr/share/snmp/mibs/CISCO-QOS-PIB-MIB-V1SMI.my /usr/share/snmp/mibs/CISCO-MEMORY-POOL-MIB-V1SMI.my /usr/share/snmp/mibs/sa.mib /usr/share/snmp/mibs/sh2.mib /usr/share/snmp/mibs/ups.mib /usr/share/snmp/mibs/HOST-RESOURCES-MIB.txt /usr/share/snmp/mibs/CISCO-FIREWALL-MIB-V1SMI.my /usr/share/snmp/mibs/ETHERLIKE-MIB-V1SMI.my /usr/share/snmp/mibs/apent.mib /usr/share/snmp/mibs/chassismgrext.mib /usr/share/snmp/mibs/cntsvcext.mib /usr/share/snmp/mibs/stratum100.mib /usr/share/snmp/mibs/qb.mib /usr/share/snmp/mibs/OLD-CISCO-INTERFACES-MIB.my /usr/share/snmp/mibs/itw_mib.mib /usr/share/snmp/mibs/orinoco.mib /usr/share/snmp/mibs/ENTITY-MIB-V1SMI.my /usr/share/snmp/mibs/CISCO-ENHANCED-MEMPOOL-MIB-V1SMI.my /usr/share/snmp/mibs/CISCO-VOICE-COMMON-DIAL-CONTROL-MIB-V1SMI.my /usr/share/snmp/mibs/CISCO-CCM-MIB.my /usr/share/snmp/mibs/CISCO-ENTITY-FRU-CONTROL-MIB.my /usr/share/snmp/mibs/POWER-ETHERNET-MIB-V1SMI.my /usr/share/snmp/mibs/LIEBERT_GP_REG.MIB /usr/share/snmp/mibs/LIEBERT_GP_POWER.MIB
