3.1 AdapterSCSI

Use this Knowledge Script to monitor the status of the Adapter SCSI subsystem on Dell servers. If the subsystem is not operational, an event is raised. The Dell server defines the characteristics of normal operation, degraded operation, and subsystem failure.

Description

How To Set It

Event?

Set to y to raise events. The default is y.

Collect data?

Set to y to collect data for charts and reports. If set to y, this Knowledge Script returns:

  • 100 if the SCSI subsystem is operating properly.

  • 50 if the SCSI operation has degraded.

  • 0 if the SCSI subsystem has failed.

The default is n.

Community

Set the community string in Security Manager for Dell OpenManage server Agent:

  • Provide the SNMP community string that is required to access Dell OpenManage. If it is empty, then the community string configured in the security manager will be used. Refer Section 2.8, “Configuring SNMP,” of Management Guide to know how to configure the security manager.

    If community string is not configured in the security manger, then by default, Public will be used as the community string.

Raise only one event if SNMP down?

Set to y to only raise a single event rather than an event for each monitored object when the SNMP service is down. The default is y.

Event severity for SNMP or Dell Managed Node failure

Set the event severity, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of an event in which the SNMP service or Dell Managed Node fails. The default is 10.

Event severity when SNMP restored

Set the event severity, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of an event in which the SNMP service has been restored. The default is 30.

Event severity when SCSI subsystem critical condition

Set the event severity, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of an event in which the SCSI subsystem is in critical condition. The default is 10.

Event severity when SCSI subsystem degraded condition

Set the event severity, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of an event in which the SCSI subsystem is in a degraded condition. The default is 20.
