Description

This connector enables hardware monitoring for LSI RAID controllers in Oracle/Sun Solaris systems, and in IBM servers with EXP3000 external bays. This connector relies on MegaCli.

Connector file name: MS_HW_SunMegaCli.hdf

This connector supersedes:

• MS_HW_SunIostat.hdf
• MS_HW_SunIostatNonSun.hdf
• MS_HW_Director52ServeRAIDLinux.hdf

Target

Typical platform: Any system with LSI MegaCli

Operating systems: Oracle Solaris, Linux

Prerequisites

Leverages: MegaCli (LSI) managed RAID card

Technology and protocols: System Commands

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

• MegaCli

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: MegaCli

Connector Activation Criteria

The MegaCLI Managed RAID Controllers 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 or Linux
• The command below succeeds on the monitored host
  • Command: MegaCli -v -NoLog
  • Output contains: Exit Code: 0x00 (regex)
• The command below succeeds on the monitored host
  • Command: MegaCli -AdpAllInfo -aALL -NoLog
  • Output contains: Exit Code: 0x00 (regex)
• The command below succeeds on the monitored host
  • Command: MegaCli -PDList -aALL -NoLog
  • Output contains: Exit Code: 0x00 (regex)
