Description

This connector parses fmadm faulty command output looking for faulty memory modules.

Connector file name: MS_HW_SunFmadm.hdf

This connector is superseded by:

• MS_HW_SunHwMon.hdf
• MS_HW_HPInsightwbem.hdf
• MS_HW_CpMgServNT.hdf

Target

Typical platform: Oracle/Sun

Operating system: Oracle Solaris

Prerequisites

Leverages: Sun Solaris system commands (fmadm)

Technology and protocols: System Commands

This connector requires advanced privileges on the managed host for the command below:

• /usr/sbin/fmadm

This connector therefore needs to run as root or you need to configure a privilege-escalation mechanism like sudo on the managed host to allow the monitoring account to run the command listed above.

Sample of /etc/sudoers to allow the above command to be run as root by the patrol account:

patrol ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/fmadm

Connector Activation Criteria

The Oracle/Sun Solaris - Fault Manager - Memory and CPU connector will be automatically activated, and its status will be reported as OK if all the below criteria are met:

• Operating System is Oracle Solaris
• The command below succeeds on the monitored host
  • Command: /bin/uname -r
  • Output contains: 5\.1[0-9] (regex)
• The command below succeeds on the monitored host
  • Command: /usr/sbin/fmadm faulty;/usr/bin/echo errorlevel $?
  • Output contains: ^errorlevel 0$ (regex)
• The command below succeeds on the monitored host
  • Command: /usr/sbin/fmadm config | grep cpumem
  • Output contains: active (regex)
