Description

Provides hardware SAS RAID disks status information on HP-UX systems. Requires root privileges.

Connector ID: HPUXSasMgr

This connector is superseded by:

• HPUXWBEM

Target

Typical platforms: HP 9000, HP Integrity, HP SuperDome

Operating system: HP-UX

Prerequisites

Leverages: HP-UX system commands (sasmgr, ioscan etc.)

Technology and protocols: System Commands

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

• /opt/sas/bin/sasmgr

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 hwsagent account:

hwsagent ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /opt/sas/bin/sasmgr

Examples

hws HOSTNAME -t hp -f HPUXSasMgr --ssh -u USER --sudo-command-list /opt/sas/bin/sasmgr

hosts:
- host:
    hostname: <HOSTNAME> # Change with actual host name
    type: hp
  selectedConnectors: [ HPUXSasMgr ] # Optional, to load only this connector
  ssh:
    username: <USERNAME> # Change with actual credentials
    password: <PASSWORD> # Encrypted using hws-encrypt
    useSudo: true
    useSudoCommands: [ "/opt/sas/bin/sasmgr" ]
