SUMMARY: storage array error notifications

Hi, thanks to Tom Jones for sending me the script he uses to monitor
his 3510's. This is exactly what I needed.

Here is Tom's response.

I monitor my 3510s as part of my system monitoring scripts.

Here's a portion from my script, using sccli commands:
        /usr/sbin/sccli $array show disks >$workfile
        cat $workfile >>$logfile
        num_failures=`egrep -i "FAIL|OFFLINE|INIT|REBUILD|BAD|ABSENT|MISS" $work
file | wc -l`
        if [ $num_failures -ne 0 ]; then
                a3510dk_notify
        fi
        num_hotspares=`grep STAND-BY $workfile|wc -l`
        if [ $num_hotspares -ne $installed_spares ]; then
                a3510hs_notify
        fi

I send the sccli output of show disks to a temp file ($workfile) then I cat that
temp file to the logfile.

I then check for failures via the egrep against $workfile.  If found, it calls
a function that sends me an email and pages me.

I also check the number of global spares.  IIf less than 2, I get an email/page
as well.

Using the above coding, I've successfully detected at least 4 or 5 drive 
failures over
the past year (we have 8 3510s in production)

Good luck!
Tom Jones


My original question

I have a 3310 stoage array with a single RAID controller in it.
I want to be notified when a disk failure occurs.
I didn't see anyting in the manual about the system emailing
when there is a disk problem on the 3310.
Does anyone know if there is an email notification built into 
the 3310?

If not I was thinking of writing a  script that would go into the 
sccli utility and do a enclosure-status and output this to a file
although I can figure out how to output it to a file because I tried
this

sccli> show enclosure-status >/opt/filemane

but it didn't create the file it just output it to the screen.
Is it possible to output it to a file?

I see under he status column it says the word OK.
What will this change to if the  status is not ok would it say
NOT OK?
I want to know what word to search for.

Any suggestions on how best to do this would be great.
The cli interfact has many options. Another is

sccli> show disks
Ch  Id      Size   Speed  LD     Status   IDs
