Hello,
I've come across my first 3ware controller and I'm trying to monitor it.
I read from smartd's man page it can use /dev/twa? to monitor 3ware
controllers and report disk errors. Is there some optional module I
need to get these character devices on RHEL 5?
I can't say for RHEL 5. On RHEL 4 I have just a single "3w_9xxx"
module loaded. Maybe some udev script needs to be modified.
The major/minor char device numbers I have (on RHEL 4) are:
# ls -l /dev/twa*
crw------- 1 root root 254, 0 Dec 31 09:31 /dev/twa0
crw------- 1 root root 254, 1 Dec 31 09:31 /dev/twa1
crw------- 1 root root 254, 10 Dec 31 09:31 /dev/twa10
crw------- 1 root root 254, 11 Dec 31 09:31 /dev/twa11
crw------- 1 root root 254, 12 Dec 31 09:31 /dev/twa12
crw------- 1 root root 254, 13 Dec 31 09:31 /dev/twa13
crw------- 1 root root 254, 14 Dec 31 09:31 /dev/twa14
crw------- 1 root root 254, 15 Dec 31 09:31 /dev/twa15
crw------- 1 root root 254, 2 Dec 31 09:31 /dev/twa2
crw------- 1 root root 254, 3 Dec 31 09:31 /dev/twa3
crw------- 1 root root 254, 4 Dec 31 09:31 /dev/twa4
crw------- 1 root root 254, 5 Dec 31 09:31 /dev/twa5
crw------- 1 root root 254, 6 Dec 31 09:31 /dev/twa6
crw------- 1 root root 254, 7 Dec 31 09:31 /dev/twa7
crw------- 1 root root 254, 8 Dec 31 09:31 /dev/twa8
crw------- 1 root root 254, 9 Dec 31 09:31 /dev/twa9
And I can check individual drive status like:
smartctl -a -d 3ware,0 /dev/twa0
smartctl -a -d 3ware,1 /dev/twa0
smartctl -a -d 3ware,2 /dev/twa0
... etc.
