[hobbit] Disk Monitoring

[Dean Casey]

I believe there is an "hastatus" script on DeadCat that works for
monitoring VCS clusters. IIRC, we edited that for use with VCS
clustering here. Had to put sticky bit permissions on "hastatus" & a
couple of other VCS commands to make the script work when ran by Hobbit
user), and also sticky bit on the script itself.

James,

 

There is a script available that will check that files systems on an
HPUX that are in the /etc/fstab file are mounted.  However, this will
not help you in a cluster situation.   I have not seen a hobbit script
for doing a check of a VCS cluster.  At my last job we used BMC Patrol
and we wrote custom scripts to check the health of both our VCS and
Service Guard clusters.   I am about to start a project where I will be
creating 2 Service Guard clusters in Production.   If I don't find a
hobbit/BB script to monitor their health, I will be creating one.

Hello All,

 

I had a recent problem with monitoring filesystems, and

I wanted some assistance.

 

We have a couple database servers using Veritas clustering.

Can anyone recommend a method for monitoring the Veritas

clustering and filesystems?

 

When the clustering went down, several partitions were unmounted.

Hobbit didn't alert us that the partitions were not available.

 

I'm curious, let's say hobbit is monitoring the filesystem (disk),

and someone unmounts a partition that is in vfstab or the filesystem

is no longer accessible, disk goes down, but the mount still shows.

Does Hobbit alert to these?

(The cluster mounts are not in the vfstab, but I just wondering

about other filesystems)

 

Thanks....James
