Thanks for the info James, appreciate your taking a stab at it. I did come across that site, but I haven't yet dug into everything it presents. Could be some good info there. I'll start messing around, and if I make any headway I'll share it with you and the list.

Unfortunately, the celerra datamovers run DART OS, an EMC-propietary os, so i'm not sure what kind of visibility you may have into the datamovers from the CS via snmp... i imagine little if any, without use of other binaries/helpers.. I did find this, which is new to me as well... apologies if you have been there and are looking for snmp-only.. https://sites.google.com/a/verypowerful.info/verypowerful-info/home/nagi os-checks-for-emc-celerra EMC seems to like making simple things very complex - I'm the guy who runs the celerra and the nagios setup, and in the past 3 years not one part/things has failed on the celerra, so I tend to not worry as much about them - especially if you have a standby-datamover in your celerra(s). let us know how things go, sorry i cannot be of more help, but i am always interested in all things nagios & SNMP,... & EMC. cheers, james -----Original Message----- From: olourkin-nag...@yahoo.com [mailto:olourkin-nag...@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 05, 2010 2:56 PM To: Nagios Users List Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring an EMC Celerra Well, assuming we can get snmpd set up to allow gets despite EMC's claim, we'd be attempting to monitor the celerra's datamover via the CS. As far as I understand, snmpd runs on the CS, so that's where our queries would have to go. It's still an open question whether we'd be picking up DM data at that point, or whether we'd only be seeing data for the CS. As to what and why I'm looking to monitor this way - I'm in a large organization with a Nagios implementation that I maintain. But I don't maintain the Celerra's. So I'd much prefer to handle all the check and threshold definitions within Nagios, rather than having to learn the Celerra config, and then having to poke the guy who does maintain them until he gets them set properly. May not work out that way, but I'm at least going to give it a shot.

I have traps set up, but I much prefer active checks whenever possible. Problem is, EMC support says the Celerra isn't capable of allowing gets. I've heard and suspected otherwise, so I thought I'd check the list to see if anyone's made the necessary config changes to allow gets. I think it should be a matter of changing /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, but has anyone tried? Thanks, Erik Larkin --- I guess having skipped bothering to implement this at our site, i look at this a different sort of way, and ask - are you attempting to monitor the celerra 's datamover via the CS (Control station?), or directly against the dm(s)? I'm not sure what you wish to monitor either - the celerras have some pretty good internal alerting configs if you dig around ... at least they have worked fine for us. what are you attempting to do specifically , like monitor just health / temp stuff, or filesystem/share usage etc etc? I'm also curious because i use SNMP gets here extensively, just never bothered against the celerra... cheers, James ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
