Oracle/Sun Solaris - Environment (ALOM-CMT snapshot) Enterprise
Description
This connector provides environmental and disk information (temperatures, fans, etc.) on Sun SPARC T1/T2 servers equipped with an ALOM card. It gathers hardware information from the ALOM card in-band (no SSH connection over the network). Requires the SUNWexplo (Sun Explorer) package.
This connector is superseded by:
- SunPrtpicl[2]
- SunHwMon[3]
- CpMgServNT[4]
- HPInsightwbem[5]
This connector supersedes:
- IpmiTool[6]
Target
Typical platform: Oracle/Sun
Operating system: Oracle Solaris
Prerequisites
Leverages: Sun Explorer and the ALOM-CMT card
Technology and protocols: Command Lines
This connector requires advanced privileges on the managed host for the command below:
/opt/SUNWexplo/bin/snapshot
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: /opt/SUNWexplo/bin/snapshot
Examples
CLI
metricshub HOSTNAME -t solaris -c +SunScSnapshot --ssh -u USER --sudo-command-list /opt/SUNWexplo/bin/snapshot
