Hi all
Has anyone got Xymon monitoring HP Proliant power supplies under Linux?
Also, has anyone got monitoring of HP Proliant RAID and or power supplies under Windows? (Win 2003 and 2008R2)
Still trying to get role based views going. Has anyone done this?
Thanks

Hi all
Has anyone got Xymon monitoring HP Proliant power supplies under Linux?
Also, has anyone got monitoring of HP Proliant RAID and or power supplies under Windows? (Win 2003 and 2008R2)
This is possible using devmon, assuming you have Linux proliant service pack installed or Windows SNMP service installed and running and HP agents. Covers DL series Proliant servers. devmon takes a bit of fiddling to get running but is very good once you've got it right.
ML servers are another can of worms entirely... You can choose between IPMI or parsing web pages from ILO100 cards. RAID checking requires running hpacucli utility.
Still trying to get role based views going. Has anyone done this?
Not sure I understand what you mean. Are you talking about generating custom views for particular groups - e.g. admins, management, etc?
David.

Hi David
I can't use SNMP as the security policy does not allow SNMP traffic in the network where these servers are located. The servers are all either DL380G5 or G6 with some new DL385s likely to land soon.
I'd like to prevent user group A viewing user group B's systems and visa versa. This is where to roles come in, if there is another solution I'd be happy to hear it.
I've just got the HP RAID checks working on a couple of test (Linux based) Proliants. As we've had a couple of power supplies fail, I was hoping to monitor these as well.
Thanks

Colin,

Without SNMP across the network, you could use SNMP just to localhost (i.e. install devmon locally on each host), or you would need to work out what CLI utils were available to display status and then parse output, etc to create your own test. There may already be something on xymonton or deadcat.net - I haven't checked.
hpasmcli(4) hpasm commands
hpasmcli(4)
NAME hpasmcli - HP management CLI
SYNOPSIS hpasmcli [-s "<command1>;<command2>;...<commandN>"]
DESCRIPTION hpasmcli is a scriptable command line interface for interacting with the hpasmd or hpasmxld management daemons. It is used to view/set/mod- ify BIOS settings such as hyperthreading, boot control, and UID LEDs. It can be used to display hardware status, such as fans, power sup- plies, etc. It also can show, repair, and clear the IML.
The CLI supports TAB completion of command names and has ahistory buffer that can be accessed using the up/down arrows.
In addition to the command line interface, hpasmcli also supports a mode that is usable for incorporating into basic shell scripts. The return value of hpasmcli in script mode can be used to verify a command executed successfully. If multiple commands are executed, only the sta- tus of the last command is returned to the shell. As an example, the following first executes the <SHOW SERVER> command to retrieve basic system information, and next reads the status of the UID:
hpasmcli -s "show server; show uid"OPTIONS -s "<command1>;<command2;...<commandN>"
Enables script mode. hpasmcli will execute the commands listed asargu- ments in the order written. At least one command must be specified.

This includes commands that use features only available on servers with an iLo chip. Other commands may only make sense on certain specific Proliant servers.

At worst, you may need separate bbgen commands to create the exact combination/layout of pages you need. See bbgen man page.
I've just got the HP RAID checks working on a couple of test (Linux based) Proliants. As we've had a couple of power supplies fail, I was hoping to monitor these as well.
_Always_ a good idea to monitor hardware!

Hi Colin
Unless there is some method of checking the hardware from command line, SNMP might be your only answer. Have you tried to snmpwalk localhost? If SNMP is being blocked at firewall or network level, a server may still be able to interrogate itself. It's a long shot, but give it a try. It depends on where your SNMP traffic is being blocked. If you have to interrogate a LOM, try doing it from something on the same subnet. If it works, you can then write a client script that does snmpget, and you can that to send a test to Xymon server in the usual way.
Regards multiple views, the feature you are looking for is described in the bbgen(1) man-page, look for the "BUILDING ALTERNATE PAGESETS" section. At our last mutual contract, you may recall, we did exactly that.
Also, search the archives. http://www.xymon.com/archive/ There are a few good descriptions floating about of how to do it. Password access to the different pages is handled by your web server.

SNMP is simply not allowed. Blocked by firewalls and disallowed by policy.

Haven't done it since that time, so I am probably not going to be much help. I do recall we needed a seperate bb-hosts and hobbitserver.cfg We then ran another instance of bbgen (per view) to generate the new views.
However, reading the bb-gen man page, it look likes that's the old way, and there is a simpler method.

Don't forget the scripts at deadcat and xymonton that talk directly to hpacucli and other similar HP utilities.
We used the hpacucli to get info from the RAID controllers. Saved my butt on failing hard drives more than once.
