LSI sas2ircu Managed Raid Controllers

Description

This connector provides information about physical disks and array status.

hardware linux lsi raid

Enterprise Connector

This connector requires the Enterprise edition of MetricsHub.

Supersedes

This connector supersedes:

• Director52ServeRAIDLinux
• SmartMonLinux
• LSIUtilUNIX

Target

Typical platforms: Linux, LSI

Operating system: Linux

Prerequisites

Leverages: Sas2Ircu (LSI) managed RAID card

Technology and protocols: Commands

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

• /opt/lsi/bin/sas2ircu

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/lsi/bin/sas2ircu

Examples

CLI

metricshub HOSTNAME -t linux -c +LSIsas2ircu --ssh -u USER --sudo-command-list /opt/lsi/bin/sas2ircu

metricshub.yaml

resourceGroups:
  <RESOURCE_GROUP>:
    resources:
      <HOSTNAME-ID>:
        attributes:
          host.name: <HOSTNAME> # Change with actual host name
          host.type: linux
        connectors: [ +LSIsas2ircu ] # Optional, to load only this connector
        protocols:
          ssh:

Connector Activation Criteria

The LSI sas2ircu Managed Raid Controllers connector will be automatically activated, and its status will be reported as OK if all the below criteria are met:

• The command below succeeds on the monitored host:
  • Command: /opt/lsi/bin/sas2ircu
  • Output contains: SAS2IRCU: No command specified (regex)
• The command below succeeds on the monitored host:
  • Command: /opt/lsi/bin/sas2ircu LIST
  • Output contains: ^[0-9].*SAS.*:.*:.*: (regex)
• The command below succeeds on the monitored host:
  • Command: /bin/sh ${file::embeddedFile-1}
  • Output contains: Device is a (regex)
