Oracle/Sun Solaris - Sun Disks
Description
This connector provides physical disk information (status and error count) on Sun Solaris systems through the iostat -En utility. Supports only official Sun disks.
This connector is superseded by:
- CpqSCSIDriveArray[2]
- SunMegaCli[3]
- CpqFCADriveArray[4]
- SunHwMon[5]
- CpqIDEDriveArray[6]
- CpqDriveArrayNT[7]
This connector supersedes:
enterprise[9] hardware[10] solaris[11] storage[12] sun[13]
Target
Typical platform: Oracle/Sun
Operating system: Oracle Solaris
Prerequisites
Leverages: Sun Solaris system commands (iostat, dd)
Technology and protocols: Command Lines
This connector requires advanced privileges on the managed host for the command below:
/usr/bin/dd
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 metricshub account:
metricshub ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/dd
Examples
CLI
metricshub HOSTNAME -t solaris -c +SunIostat --ssh -u USER --sudo-command-list /usr/bin/dd
