Description

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

Connector ID: SunMegaCli

This connector supersedes:

• SunIostat
• SunIostatNonSun
• Director52ServeRAIDLinux

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 hwsagent account:

hwsagent ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: MegaCli

Examples

hws HOSTNAME -t solaris -f SunMegaCli --ssh -u USER --sudo-command-list MegaCli

hosts:
- host:
    hostname: <HOSTNAME> # Change with actual host name
    type: solaris
  selectedConnectors: [ SunMegaCli ] # Optional, to load only this connector
  ssh:
    username: <USERNAME> # Change with actual credentials
    password: <PASSWORD> # Encrypted using hws-encrypt
    useSudo: true
    useSudoCommands: [ "MegaCli" ]
