Solaris prtdiag

list Roland Soderstrom · Tue, 11 Oct 2011 13:12:54 +1100 ·

Hi,

I have used old good bb-prtdiag for many years.
It works fairly well for a lot of old Sun machines but lack the new ones.
The script is pretty nasty in nested loops and too many if's.
It is not easy to update it to accommodate new machines.

Is there anyone out there that has a new version of it?
Can't find any on xymonton.
Or do you monitor SUN hw in another way than prtdiag -> xymonserver?

Otherwise I will rewrite it to support our new hw.

I cobbled something together at $PREVIOUS_CONTRACT, and I might be able to
get it later this evening. I will have a look.
It's really simple these days, because of the Solaris picld. (man picld for
more info)

In it's simplest form, the test runs prtdiag, and thanks to how picld works
with prtdiag, you can derive a status from $?

Simple, but effective.
Xymon will tell you there is a hardware problem, but cannot tell you exactly
what the problem is. That's best done using a human brain version 1.00 or
better.

Regards
     Vernon

Hello,

Here a very simple script that runs pretty good:

#!/bin/ksh


COLUMN="prtdiag"                                # Name of the column, often same as tag in bb-hosts

ERROR=0

OK_COLOR="green"
KO_COLOR="red"

OK_MSG="<PRE>&${OK_COLOR} All is OK Boss."
KO_MSG="<PRE>&${KO_COLOR} Hardware Issue on the machine"

TMP=$BBTMP/prtdiag.tmp
if [ -z "${TMP}" ]
then
        TMP=/tmp/prtdiag.tmp
fi

##############
#
#       Custom test
#
#############
PLATFORM=`uname -i`

/usr/platform/${PLATFORM}/sbin/prtdiag -v > $TMP 2>&1
CODE_RETOUR=$?

if [ $CODE_RETOUR -ne 0 ]
then
        ERROR=1

fi

##############
#
#       Sending the message
#
#############

if [ $ERROR -eq 0 ]
then
        COLOR=$OK_COLOR
        MSG="$OK_MSG
`cat $TMP `
</PRE>"
else
        COLOR=$KO_COLOR
        MSG="$KO_MSG
`cat $TMP `
</PRE>"
fi

#
# BB env var for the bb command
# BBDISP env var for the XYMON srv
# MACHINE env var for the XYMON client
#

$BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.$COLUMN $COLOR `date` $MSG"

exit 0

Hi Roland

This is what I am using. I made a mistake though, I did not write it. I must
have got confused with another script I wrote. (I confuse easily)
Credit where due though, and credit goes to Wim Olivier (See comments)
It also looks like it does pretty much the same as Gautier's script.

Only issue you may have, there is a bug in the picl daemon, and it sometime
crashes. (Recent patching may have fixed this)
When that happens, all bets are off, and results could vary.
Restarting picl service normally fixes everything.
Might want to add /system/picl to the list of monitored services.
There are two good SMF monitoring scripts on the Xymonton page.
http://www.xymonton.org/monitors:smf.sh
and
http://www.xymonton.org/monitors:smf2.ksh
I prefer the 2nd one,  obviously :-) but the first one is simpler to
configure.
The choice is yours.

Regards
     Vernon

Hi,

I have used old good bb-prtdiag for many years.
It works fairly well for a lot of old Sun machines but lack the new ones.
The script is pretty nasty in nested loops and too many if's.
It is not easy to update it to accommodate new machines.

Is there anyone out there that has a new version of it?
Can't find any on xymonton.
Or do you monitor SUN hw in another way than prtdiag -> xymonserver?

Otherwise I will rewrite it to support our new hw.
