HP-UX - Smart Array RAID

Description

This connector discovers and collects hardware data the physical disks connected to a Smart Array controller and any configured logical drive and spare drive.

hardware hp-ux hpe raid

Enterprise Connector

This connector requires the Enterprise edition of MetricsHub.

Superseded Connector

This connector is superseded by:

• HPUXWBEM

Target

Typical platforms: HPE Alletra 9000, HPE Integrity, HPE SuperDome, HP-UX

Operating system: HP-UX

Prerequisites

Leverages: HP-UX Smart Array Configuration Utility

Technology and protocols: Commands

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

• /opt/raidsa/bin/sautil

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/raidsa/bin/sautil

Examples

CLI

metricshub HOSTNAME -t linux -c +HPUXSAUtil --ssh -u USER --sudo-command-list /opt/raidsa/bin/sautil

resourceGroups:
  <RESOURCE_GROUP>:
    resources:

          host.type: linux
        connectors: [ +HPUXSAUtil ] # Optional, to load only this connector
        protocols:

Connector Activation Criteria

The HP-UX - Smart Array RAID connector will be automatically activated, and its status will be reported as OK if all the below criteria are met:

• The device type must be one of: HP
• The command below succeeds on the monitored host:
  • Command: ls /opt/raidsa/bin/sautil
  • Output contains: sautil$ (regex)
• The command below succeeds on the monitored host:
  • Command: /bin/sh ${file::embeddedFile-1}
  • Output contains: [GgTtMm][Bb] (regex)
