Package: smartmontools
Version: 5.36-6
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
I'm trying to use new Smartmontools 5.36 with CCISS patch to monitor a
pair of SCSI disks in a RAID1 smartarray.
I've tried smartctl command which seems to work :
# smartctl -a -d cciss,0 /dev/cciss/c0d0
or
# smartctl -a -d cciss,1 /dev/cciss/c0d0
Then, I've tried to run smartd daemon to monitor them and periodically
run short / long test on them, with this kind of line in smartd.conf :
...
/dev/cciss/c0d0 -d cciss,0 -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././02|L/../../6/03)
\
-m <my e-mail> \
-M test \
-M exec /etc/smartmontools/smartd-runner
/dev/cciss/c0d0 -d cciss,1 -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././04|L/../../6/05)
\
-m <my e-mail> \
-M test \
-M exec /etc/smartmontools/smartd-runner
...
But it doesn't work as expected :
* first, in my scripts called by /etc/smartmontools/smartd-runner, I
want to run smartctl to add the full SMART log to the e-mail sent in
case of failure. I do this with following code :
...
smartctl -a -l selftest -l error -d "$SMARTD_DEVICETYPE" "$SMARTD_DEVICE"
...
but it fails as these environment variables aren't correctly set : I
got :
smartctl -a -l selftest -l error -d scsi '/dev/cciss/c0d0 [cciss_disk_01]'
* second, I've noticed that scheduled short tests (at 2h and 4h A.M.)
are all done on the second disk !
* third, as a side effect, an other array supervisor, cpqarrayd (which
only monitor messages from the array), tells me exactly one hour after
the first short test (at 3h A.M.) :
03:25:17 cpqarrayd: CCISS controler /dev/cciss/c0d0 logical volume 0 changed
state to Logical drive is ready for recovery operation.
03:25:17 cpqarrayd: CCISS controler /dev/cciss/c0d0 logical volume 0 changed
state to Logical drive is is currently recovering.
03:25:17 cpqarrayd: CCISS controler /dev/cciss/c0d0 logical volume 0 changed
state to Logical drive is ok.
with regards,
Frédéric Boiteux.
