Does anyone know how I can monitor (either gui or shell) the health status of my SATA disks via the P212 (256Mb) controller card of my ProLiant ML110 G6 ? I've currently got Centos 6.2 64bit installed but don't see how to show,say, the current SMART temperature values of the RAIDed SATA disks. On ubuntu I believe I have used some sensors daemon or similar in the past but not with P212 (yet).

You need to install the ProLiant management agents for your server model.

The hp-snmp-agents package will provide some of what you need, but the Array Configuration Utility (especially the hpacucli program) will be the most helpful. Since this is a 100-series server, installing the HP agents may be a bit too heavy. They're really optimized for the higher-end models.

If you're looking for a quick way to check RAID status (which is more important than SMART status in this case), try the cciss_vol_status script.

Edit:

cciss_vol_status output:

[root@Fruity ~]# cat /proc/scsi/scsi

I tried /dev/sg0, /dev/sg1 and /dev/sg2... I actually have a disk reporting a SMART issue...

[root@Fruity ~/cciss_vol_status-1.09]# ./cciss_vol_status -s /dev/sg1

  • many thanks for this very prompt reply. I have now got the HP SNMP Agents and system health cli installed and can now do "# hpacucli controller slot=3 physicaldrive all show", for instance, and the output information does include the drive temperatures. Then I installed the cciss software but as yet cannot figure the name of my raid device to tell it to query. cat /proc/scsi/scsi show the RAID as scsi4 chan 0 id 0 lun 0 and ls -l /sys/class/scsi_generic lists sg0,sg1 and sg2. No doubt someone can point me at what device to use for cciss_vol_status -s /dev/,,,, – mark simmons Mar 21 '12 at 12:52
  • It's RHEL6 under the `hpsa` driver, so... `/dev/sdX` is the block device. I just checked on another server and my output is added to my answer above. – ewwhite Mar 21 '12 at 13:05
  • Good. Please mark this as the answer. – ewwhite Mar 21 '12 at 13:37
