Description

This connector discovers and monitors physical disks and logical disks behind a physical RAID controller.

Connector file name: MS_HW_SunRaidctl.hdf

This connector is superseded by:

• MS_HW_CpqSCSIDriveArray.hdf
• MS_HW_CpqIDEDriveArray.hdf
• MS_HW_CpqFCADriveArray.hdf
• MS_HW_CpqDriveArrayNT.hdf

Target

Typical platform: Oracle/Sun

Operating system: Oracle Solaris

Prerequisites

Leverages: Sun Solaris system commands (raidctl)

Technology and protocols: System Commands

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

• /usr/sbin/raidctl

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/raidctl

Connector Activation Criteria

The Oracle/Sun Solaris - RAID Disks (raidctl) 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: /usr/sbin/raidctl -S
  • Output contains: ^[0-9] (regex)
