Adaptec - StorMan - RAID

Description

This connector provides information about physical disks and volumes for Adaptec SAS RAID controllers through the arcconf utility.

hardware linux raid solaris storage

Enterprise Connector

This connector requires the Enterprise edition of MetricsHub.

Target

Typical platform: Adaptec

Operating systems: Oracle Solaris, Linux

Prerequisites

Leverages: arcconf

Technology and protocols: Commands

This connector requires advanced privileges on the managed host for the command below:

  • /[opt|usr]/StorMan/arcconf

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|usr]/StorMan/arcconf

Examples

CLI

metricshub HOSTNAME -t solaris -c +AdptStorManUnix --ssh -u USER --sudo-command-list /[opt|usr]/StorMan/arcconf
