Sun Solaris–Non-Sun Disks

This connector provides physical disk information (status and error count) on Sun Solaris platforms through the iostat -En utility. Supports only non-Sun disks in Sun systems. This connector needs to be manually activated and will never be picked up automatically during the platform detection and components discovery.

Target

Typical platform: Sun Fire (SPARC)

Operating system: Sun Solaris

Instrumentation layer: Sun Solaris system commands (iostat, dd)

Technology used: System commands

Discovered objects

•Disk controllers (SEN_HW_DISKCONTROLLER)

•Physical disks (SEN_HW_PHYSICALDISK)

Parameters collected

•SEN_HW_PHYSICALDISK / ErrorCount

•SEN_HW_PHYSICALDISK / Status

This connector is able to monitor the local host and/or a remote system.

Credentials

This connector probably requires root privileges for its proper operation. You therefore will need to configure the product to use the root login/password to execute external commands.
Alternatively, you can configure the product to use the 'sudo' utility for the following command: /usr/bin/dd.
