How to check RAID?
How to check RAID?
For a number of customers I have to check the functionality of the RAID configuration. (Some are hardware RAID (DELL and HP), some are software/Windows RAID).
How do I go about monitoring this?
HM: 6.04
RMA: 3.35
Platforms are all Windows (2000/2003)

I think you may use SNMP tests for such purposes. Most of hardware RAID devices support SNMP protocol.

Could you tell me which OID you used to confirm your operation of RAID?KS-Soft Europe wrote:I think you may use SNMP tests for such purposes. Most of hardware RAID devices support SNMP protocol.

I think, here you may find any MIB file you need: http://www.mibdepot.com/cgi-bin/mibvend ... ?id=154026dullaertd wrote:It's for Hardware Raid from HP..

Do you see any errors? What exact error do you see? Have you been using "MIBBrowser"? http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mibbrowser/index.htmdullaertd wrote:The MIB I found here, doesn't work for me.

As you may see from the MIB file, 1.3.6.1.4.1.16.1.1.2.1.6 points to an array of disk drives, so, you have to add the "index" of the disk you want to retrieve stripeSize for, e.g.: 1.3.6.1.4.1.16.1.1.2.1.6.1 or 1.3.6.1.4.1.16.1.1.2.1.6.2, etc.
If you click on "Browse MIBs" button next to "OID" field (small button with opened book depicted) in "Test Properties" windw, HostMonitor will launch MIB Browser displaying the hierarchy tree of SNMP variables. You may use "Get Next" function to retrieve correct OID starting from 1.3.6.1.4.1.16.1.1.2.1.6

I tried that, but doesn't work, same error
The "Next" OID I get is 1.3.6.1.4.1.77.1.1.1.0If you click on "Browse MIBs" button next to "OID" field (small button with opened book depicted) in "Test Properties" windw, HostMonitor will launch MIB Browser displaying the hierarchy tree of SNMP variables.
