Description

This connector provides environmental information (temperatures, fans, etc.) on several Sun platforms through the prtdiag or lom utility.

Connector file name: MS_HW_SunPrtdiag.hdf

This connector is superseded by:

• MS_HW_SunHwMon.hdf
• MS_HW_HPInsightwbem.hdf
• MS_HW_CpMgServNT.hdf

Target

Typical platform: Oracle/Sun

Operating system: Oracle Solaris

Prerequisites

Leverages: Sun Solaris system commands (prtdiag, lom, etc.)

Technology and protocols: System Commands

This connector requires advanced privileges on the managed host for the command below:

• /usr/sbin/lom

This connector therefore needs to run as root or you need to configure a privilege-escalation mechanism like sudo on the managed host to allow the monitoring account to run the command listed above.

Sample of /etc/sudoers to allow the above command to be run as root by the patrol account:

patrol ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/lom

Connector Activation Criteria

The Oracle/Sun Solaris - Environment (prtdiag, lom) connector will be automatically activated, and its status will be reported as OK if all the below criteria are met:

• Operating System is Oracle Solaris
• The command below succeeds on the monitored host
  • Command: /bin/uname -m
  • Output contains: ^sun4u[s]?$ (regex)
• The command below succeeds on the monitored host
  • Command: /bin/ls /usr/platform/`/bin/uname -i`/sbin/prtdiag
  • Output contains: ^/usr/platform/.*/sbin/prtdiag$ (regex)
