LSI Logic - LsiUtil - RAID

Description

This connector provides information about physical disks and volumes for LSI Logic SAS RAID controllers through the lsiutil utility.

hardware linux lsi raid solaris

Enterprise Connector

This connector requires the Enterprise edition of MetricsHub.

Superseded Connector

This connector is superseded by:

• Director52ServeRAIDLinux
• LSIsas2ircu

Target

Typical platforms: Linux, LSI

Operating systems: Linux, Oracle Solaris

Prerequisites

Leverages: lsiutil

Technology and protocols: Commands

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

• lsiutil

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: lsiutil

Examples

CLI

metricshub HOSTNAME -t linux -c +LSIUtilUNIX --ssh -u USER --sudo-command-list lsiutil

metricshub.yaml

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

Connector Activation Criteria

The LSI Logic - LsiUtil - 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: Linux, Solaris
• The command below succeeds on the monitored host:
  • Command: for CONTROLLERID in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; do lsiutil -p$CONTROLLERID -a 1,2,0 21; done
  • Output contains: ^PhysDisk [0-9] (regex)
