Monitors HP RAID controller, this is not checked by the normal HP hardware check in op5 Monitor.

About

NOTE: HP ACU CLI  was designed for Windows 2012 and we have not validated this for newer Windows Operating Systems.  This article remains here as a reference for how this worked.

This will enable HP RAID monitoring on your HP Proliant server. This how will require that you download an external script to your op5 Agent.

If there is a problem with your RAID the output will tell you the problem, for example say which disk that is failing.

 

Prerequisite

  1. HP ACU CLI must be installed, download and install this from HP.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Download the script check_smartarray.vbs to your op5 Agent script folder, C:\Program Files\op5\NSClient++\scripts

  2. Edit custom.ini, located in C:\Program Files\op5\NSClient++\

    [NRPE Handlers]check_raid=cscript.exe //NoLogo //T:10 scripts/check_smartarray.vbs --hpacucli "C:\Program Files\Compaq\Hpacucli\Bin\hpacucli.exe"
    Note that you might need to change the path to hpacucli.exe.
  3. Save the file and restart the op5 NSClient++ windows service.
  4. Go to op5 Monitor -> Configure -> Commands
  5. Create a new check command with the following settings:
    command_name: check_hp_raid
    command_line: $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 30 -c check_raid

  6. Click on Submit.
  7. Select your HP Server in the configuration and add a new service
    service_description: RAID Status
    check_command: check_hp_raid

  8. Click on Submit and save your configuration.

    Is this information really updated for newer Windows OS:es? The latest found HP ACU CLI is from 2012 and supports Windows Server 2012 as the latest OS. Can this solution be applied for Windows Server 2016 and later?

    Jimmy,

     

    No this solution may not work for newer Windows Operating Systems.  We are altering this article to make note that this is for archival reference only.
