StorEdge 3510 disk array & SunMC

Hi

I have a question regarding Sun StorEdge 3510 & SMC. I want to have notifications about hdd problems, cache or controller faults. I know that I can install StorADE and send messages to SMC. Is there any other way to have 3510 notifications in SMC withouht hiring StorADE?

Regards

Paul

Not right now: StorADE is the off-the-shelf way to go.

We took a hard look at creating an enhanced non-StorADE direct integration... but I haven't personally seen a lot of commercial interest. How many 3510s would you want notifications for?

Send an email to info@HalcyonInc.com if you want more information.

HiOne more thing - How can I monitor 3510 with SMC ? Is it just alarms comming to the console? As far as I understand this software, I need to check everything with StorADE, but alarm can be sent to SunMC, am I right?

I am struggling with StorADE - I've installed SMC & StorADE on the same host.

3510 is connected to the server (I can run sccli:

bash-3.00# sccli

sccli: selected device /dev/rdsk/c3t226000C0FFA98DABd0s2 [SUN StorEdge 3510 SN#098DAB]

sccli> show events

so there is a problem (simulated by me by pulling out the HDD), but either StorADE nor SMC has information about it.

Who can help me with it?

Hello,

You can use following way to monitores 3510 Raid array :

Install packages on the 3510 connected server

systemSUNWsccliSun StorEdge(tm) 3000 Family CLI

systemSUNWscsa Sun StorEdge(tm) Diagnostic Reporter daemon

systemSUNWscsd Sun StorEdge(tm) Configuration Service Agent

application SUNWscsu Sun StorEdge(tm) Configuration Service Console

systemSUNWscui Sun StorEdge(tm) Diagnostic Reporter console

This provide ssconsole binary. Start it and assign your 3510 Raid ctrl to send alarms to one Solaris host.

Exact procedure (account creation, etc...) to do so should be present somewhere on docs.sun.com

Now, each time an event occurs on the 3510, a log will appears with SUNWscsd... blablabla into /var/adm/messages :

/var/adm/messages.0:Jun 26 15:48:11 PNMSSS082 SUNWscsdMonitor[522]: [ID 163373 daemon.error] [SUNWscsd 0x030B2007:0x00FFFF00 Informational] <rctrl2041> Logical Drive 0(ID=6327904A, RAID 5), Rebuild Completed. Informational message. Replace defective drive with new drive. (Mon Jun 26 15:22:48 2006) {Unique ID#: 07e60a}

Use SMC agent log file scanning to monitor trap with this string "SUNWscsd"

Hope this will help.

Regards,

Damien
