Check ESX's RAID on HP Proliant and Dell PowerEdge servers

[LFrederic]

Good morning everyone,

I have ESXs running on Dell PowerEdge or HP Proliant servers. I want to monitor my RAID on these servers (RAID 1 with 2 HDD and one spare). I would like to be warned if my spare or one HDD crashes.

I'm trying to monitor my server with

• hardware::server::hp::proliant::snmp::plugin
• hardware::server::dell::openmanage::snmp::plugin

Here is an example for HP Proliant

[root@san_raid0 centreon-plugins-master]# ./centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=hardware::server::hp::proliant::snmp::plugin --mode=hardware --hostname=IP --debug OK: All 0 components are ok []. | Product Name: unknown, Serial: unknown, Rom Version: unknown Checking cpu Checking ide controllers Checking ide logical drives Checking ide physical drives Checking power converters Checking power supplies Checking sas controllers Checking sas logical drives Checking sas physical drives Checking scsi controllers Checking scsi logical drives Checking scsi physical drives Checking fca host controller Checking fca external controller Checking fca external accelerator boards Checking fca logical drives Checking fca physical drives Checking da controller Checking da accelerator boards Checking da logical drives Checking da physical drives Checking fans Checking physical nics Checking logical nics

I really don't understand that "OK: All 0 components are ok".

The SNMP access seems good : I can get information with :

snmpwalk -Cc -On -v 2c -c public IP .1

I'm asking for some advices to help me.

Thanks a lot !

I don't think you'll have SNMP information about hardware on ESX. Could you give the full snmpwalk ? Otherwise, if it's linked with a vcenter, you can use "centreon-vmware". If it's a standalone ESX, you can use 'apps::vwmare::wsman::plugin'.

[LFrederic]

Thanks for your quick reply.

Here is the the snmpwalk for my Dell PowerEdge R710 server : https://framabin.org/?890d3b5a4c6007a3#ULu/HfVtSe/IL/aNSL0jeVnhdnlSIS3+WwXLjMYo0u4= (HP Proliant is on maintenance)

Everything would be easier if my company had vcenter but I only have the free version of VSphere.

Depending on server, I have a different output message :

[root@san_raid0 centreon-plugins-master]# ./centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=apps::vmware::wsman::plugin --mode=hardware --hostname=IP
UNKNOWN: Could not enumerate instances: Timeout was reached or UNKNOWN: Could not enumerate instances: Couldn't connect to server

Sorry for my incompetence, I'm an intern and I'm not very familiar with these technologies.

What is your full command line for wsman check ? Which version of perl openwsman have you installed on your server ?

[LFrederic]

This is my full command, I just wanted to try the plugin with a simple command.

To be honest, I didn't installed openwsman on my server. It looks like it was packaged in the ESX. I have

find / -name openwsman

/lib/openwsman /etc/cim/openwsman /etc/openwsman /etc/pam.d/openwsman

[garnier-quentin]

You need to install a perl version updated. Install the following: http://yum.centreon.com/standard/3.3/stable/dependencies/x86_64/RPMS/openwsman-perl-2.6.2-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

[LFrederic]

Thanks a lot ! I'll try this as soon as i find a way to install openwsman without rpm/yum/etc on my ESX..

Otherwise, do you think I can get RAID status with an OID with snmp_standard::plugin ?

[garnier-quentin]

I don't think you'll get it in SNMP.

[LFrederic]

Ok, it seems that I have ESX's disks status with the check_vmware_api with :

./check_vmware_api -H IP_ESX -u ROOT -p PASSWORD_ESX -l storage -s lun

It returns "STATUS WARNING - Local hp CD-ROM (mpx.vmhba0:C0:T0:L0) : HP Serial Attached SCSI Disk (naa.600508b1001c06d75b292b49068abc31) :". I knew there was an error on a disk.

But I also have a RHEL 5 (32bits) physical machine that I want to monitor with a HP Proliant DL585 G2. When I try the following command

./centreon_plugins.pl --plugin=hardware::server::hp::proliant::snmp::plugin --mode=global-status --hostname=gdasrv18 It returns : UNKNOWN: SNMP GET Request : Cant get a single value.

I don't understand while although I have SNMP access.

Thanks for your quick replies Quentin Garnier !

Have you installed the hp insight snmp agent on your redhat 5 ?

[LFrederic]

Hmm probably not...

[garnier-quentin]

I close it. You can continue to comment it.
