HP-UX - HBA Enterprise
Description
This connector provides hardware status information for the fiber channel HBA cards on HP UX systems.
This connector supersedes:
Target
Typical platforms: HP 9000 HP Integrity HP SuperDome
Operating system: HP-UX
Prerequisites
Leverages: HP UX system commands (ioscan, fcmsutil)
Technology and protocols: Command Lines
This connector requires advanced privileges on the managed host for the commands below:
/usr/sbin/ioscan
/opt/fcms/bin/fcmsutil
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 commands listed above.
Sample of /etc/sudoers to allow the above commands to be run as root by the metricshub account:
metricshub ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/ioscan
metricshub ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /opt/fcms/bin/fcmsutil
Examples
CLI
metricshub HOSTNAME -t hp -c +HPUXHBA --ssh -u USER --sudo-command-list /usr/sbin/ioscan,/opt/fcms/bin/fcmsutil
