Re: [zfs-discuss] ZFS Automatic Device Error Notification?
There are several ways to do this. Two of the most popular are syslog and SNMP. syslog works, just like it always did (or didn't). For more details on FMA and how it works with SNMP traps, see the conversations on the OpenSolaris fault management community, http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/fm/ and Keith wrote an interesting blog about FMA-SNMP http://blogs.sun.com/wesolows?entry=a_louder_voice_for_the In short, ZFS doesn't invent anything new for such notification, it just uses the existing methods. -- richard Wes Williams wrote: Okay, so now that I'm planning to build my NAS using ZFS, I now need to devise or learn of a preexisting method to receive notification of ZFS handled errors on a remote machine.

I use the smartmontools smartd daemon to email me when disk drives are about to fail. If you are interested in configuring smartd to send email notifications prior to a disk failing, check out the following blog post: http://prefetch.net/blog/index.php/2006/01/05/using-smartd-on-solaris-systems-to-find-disk-drive-problems/ Thanks, - Ryan -- UNIX Administrator http://prefetch.net ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
