Description

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

This connector supersedes:

• SunIostat^[2]
• SunIostatNonSun^[3]
• Director52ServeRAIDLinux^[4]

enterprise^[5] hardware^[6] ibm^[7] linux^[8] raid^[9] solaris^[10] sun^[11]

Target

Typical platform: Any system with LSI MegaCli

Operating systems: Oracle Solaris, Linux

Prerequisites

Leverages: MegaCli (LSI) managed RAID card

Technology and protocols: Command Lines

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 metricshub account:

metricshub ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: MegaCli

Examples

metricshub HOSTNAME -t solaris -c +SunMegaCli --ssh -u USER --sudo-command-list MegaCli

resourceGroups:
  <RESOURCE_GROUP>:
    resources:
      <HOSTNAME-ID>:
        attributes:
          host.name: <HOSTNAME> # Change with actual host name
          host.type: solaris
        connectors: [ +SunMegaCli ] # Optional, to load only this connector
        protocols:
          ssh:
            username: <USERNAME> # Change with actual credentials
            password: <PASSWORD> # Encrypted using metricshub-encrypt
            useSudo: true
            useSudoCommands: [ "MegaCli" ]

Connector Activation Criteria

The MegaCLI Managed RAID Controllers 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 or Oracle Solaris or Linux
• The command below succeeds on the monitored host
  • Command: MegaCli -v -NoLog
  • Output contains: Exit Code: 0x00 (regex)
• The command below succeeds on the monitored host
  • Command: MegaCli -AdpAllInfo -aALL -NoLog
  • Output contains: Exit Code: 0x00 (regex)
• The command below succeeds on the monitored host
  • Command: MegaCli -PDList -aALL -NoLog
  • Output contains: Exit Code: 0x00 (regex)
