5.5 PhysicalDrive

Use this Knowledge Script to monitor the operational status of physical drives on HP or Dell computers running Linux. This script raises an event if a monitored drive is in a state other than one of the states that you specify to be operational states. This script can also report events based on error conditions that occur when the software is not properly installed, configured, or running.

For information about physical drive object properties, see Section 5.1.3, PhysicalDrive Properties.

If you are monitoring Dell equipment, this Knowledge Script requires OMSA components on the computer you are monitoring. You can install these components using the srvadmin-all meta package.

If you are monitoring HP equipment, this Knowledge Script requires the HP Array Configuration Utility CLI for Linux and HP System Health Application and Command Line Utilities for Linux installed on the computer you are monitoring.
