Anyone have a good way of monitoring the free space in a hyper-v cluster shared volume (CSV)? They don't show up in the hrStorage area in SNMP. Anyone know how to find them in SNMP, or by using some other approach (maybe SNMP+WMI?)?
There's an example below for anyone not familiar with junction points. Any help greatly appreciated. -- Trever Furnish, tgfurn...@herffjones.com CSVs are mounted using junction points, which is to say they're mounted "the unix way", in a folder mount point, not with a drive letter. If you have access to a hyper-v cluster using CSVs, you can see this easily. Here's what it looks like in Windows Storage Manager: http://screencast.com/t/qQTja24lP ...and here's what it looks like in the failover cluster manager: http://screencast.com/t/8z37yWLcuspI It's easy to make one of these without clustering too - just stick in a thumb drive and in storage manager take away the drive letter and mount it on a folder just like you would in unix. As long as it's got a drive letter, it shows up under hrStorage in SNMP - without a drive letter, I haven't found it yet. The rest of this is just stream-of-research notes. Hope it helps someone else who finds this later, but so far I don't have a solution. I've installed Windows 2008's "SNMP WMI Provider" (Under "Features" in server manager), but so far I haven't figured out how to use it. I think it's actually for going the other direction - getting SNMP info into WMI, not getting WMI info into SNMP. It looks like Powershell can find the volumes and display details about them by using Win32_Volume, but I don't have an easy way to get that into Nagios yet: Found this Cacti post about using OpenPegasus (which HP already packages in their hardware management tools for Unix) as a wbem gateway, so maybe there's hope down this path. I was hoping to avoid installing more software on the windows servers, but since they're all HP hardware I may be able to tap into the existing HP tools if the OpenPegasus wbem gateway is also present in the windows version of the HP Insight agents: http://forums.cacti.net/about11752.html There's also Zenoss's wmiclient, haven't tried that yet, but it looks like it doesn't work against win2008: http://felimwhiteley.wordpress.com/2008/08/15/wmi-calls-from-linux/ http://blogs.balabit.com/2010/09/18/wmi-client-for-linux/ The winexe link in that article doesn't work any more, but there's source code in the openbsd ports archive here: ftp://ftp.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/distfiles//winexe-source-081123.tar.bz2 More here: http://openports.se/net/winexe And usage info here: https://lbtwiki.cern.ch/bin/view/Online/WinExe ...but this also installs its own service on the target system remotely - crap. Hmmm...
