We use Nagios to monitor our servers. Our Dell PE 1550s and 1750s are monitored using a check_megaraid nagios plugin which uses SNMP and works fine.
Our postgres databases are running on two Dell PE 2650s which use an aacraid (not megaraid) 3/di controller. This means that we need a different toolset to check the array.
We currently appear to have three options:
1) Use the afacli (command line tool) to output the current array status and diff it against a previous known good state and report back accordingly
2) or setup snmp on the db server and modify the check_megaraid nagios plugin to check the response from the aacraid snmp reply (problem is that there is virtually no documentation on getting snmp configured for the aacraid controller)
3) or find someone who has already solved this problem
Does anyone have a reliable way of monitoring the state of a Perc 3/di array which works with nagios that they'd like to share?
Thanks to anyone who can help.
