Monitor your controller continuously with CPQ Array Daemon. It identifies any unusual conditions and alerts you, ensuring that you can address the situation promptly.
The CPQ Array Daemon project is a monitoring tool that constantly checks for abnormal conditions in your controller. This software can run on a linux based intel box with a smart array controller from Compaq. The tool reports status changes in the disks to both the syslog and a snmp trap host. By default, it only logs to the syslog, but you can specify traphosts with the -t parameter at the commandline. Multiple traphosts are allowed, and any errors that occur are non-fatal.
To ensure optimal operation, it's important to compile the package for the same kernel that runs on the machine where you want to use it. You should also make sure that the version of the SmartArray driver is the same, to prevent any strange occurrences.
Installation of this software is straightforward. You can start by `cd'ing to the directory containing the package's source code and typing `./configure' to configure the package for your system. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for. After configuration, you can type `make' to compile the package and `make check' to run any self-tests that come with the package. Then, type `make install' to install the programs, data files, and documentation. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean.' To remove the files that `configure' created, type `make distclean.' The `make maintainer-clean' target is intended mainly for the package's developers. If used, you may have to get other programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution.
Overall, the CPQ Array Daemon project is a reliable monitoring tool that offers flexibility in reporting to both the syslog and a snmp trap host. The installation process is fairly simple, and as long as you follow the guidelines for successful operation, you shouldn't run into any issues.
