SunMC Agent 3.6.1 and ZFS

Hello,
I was wondering if a SunMC agent is able to recognize a ZFS filesystem? I've tried it on one of our test servers there is no category under Kernel Reader-Filesystem Usage for ZFS...only ufs and vxfs

I was wondering if a SunMC agent is able to recognize
a ZFS filesystem? I've tried it on one of our test
servers there is no category under Kernel
Reader-Filesystem Usage for ZFS...only ufs and vxfsNot quite yet. In fact a SunMC Server will refuse to even install on a ZFS partition without some minor changes to its setup utils. But the next release should be fully ZFS aware and compatible.

  • Problem using agent-update.bin to roll out SunMC agents

    Greetings,
    I want to use agent-update.bin to roll out SUNMC agents to solaris 9 and 10 hosts. I use the es-agentupdate.sh tool to create the installation package and the seed file on the SunMC server in /var/opt/SUNWsymon/agentupdate.
    I copy the binary /opt/SUNWsymon/base/bin/agent-update.bin to the root on a test server.
    I run the following commands - each fails - unable to find the seed file. Can anyone suggest an -f argument which might work as I need the rollout to occur without user intervention to enter secrets.
    ./agent-update.bin -s oranc1 -r 8080 -p DPI_BasicAgent -f seed-file
    or
    ./agent-update.bin -s oranc1 -r 8080 -p DPI_BasicAgent -f ./seed-file
    or
    ./agent-update.bin -s oranc1 -r 8080 -p DPI_BasicAgent -f /var/opt/SUNWsymon/agentupdate/seed-file
    Standard out from the last of these commands is as follows:

    Thanks in advance for your help
    Tony

    Greetings Mike,
    I copied the seed-file from my SUNMC server to the host being updated and put it in the same directory as agent-update.bin. Ran the following:
    ./agent-update.bin -s oranc1 -r 8080 -p DPI_BasicAgent -s ./seed-file
    The result is:
    Error: getting sbin_archive
    Web server is listening on port 8080 and accessible through a browser. Agent package directory name and seedfile name are OK.
    any additonal help appreciated.

  • Time on SUNMC agents complicated!!! and interesting

    Hi,
    Some of our machines (SUNMC agents) are on a different timezone. Whenever I create graphs the time on the red spots is I dont know what. Any ides n how to change the time of the graphs according to what the time is on the agent. For example = the time on the agent is 3:00 am in the morning and the client or the java applet time is 1 pm than it shows 1 pm time rather showing me the agent time.
    any fix?

    I figured it out. The time showing up on the windows is the time of the machine running the java applet. So I fixed the time on the client running the applet and the time was fixed on the PRM window.

  • SunMC Agent on a V490

    Hi,
    today we got our first V490 with US- IV CPUs and I was wondering if I can install a SunMC Agent 3.5.1b on this platform. Obviously I'm not able to do so or I'm lacking the correct Config Reader package.
    Can anybody tell me if there is a 3.5.1b supplement for a V490 (and V890) or is there no support within SunMC 3.5.1b?
    Is a SunMC 3.6 agent installable and maybe usable with a SunMC 3.5.1b server?
    Looking forward for any hints!
    Regards,
    Peter

    Yes, the SunMC 3.5.1b media has the SunMC config-reader for the V490:
    SUNWeswha Sun Management Center Workgroup Server Agent Support
    Don't forget to make sure you also installed the Workgroup Server Server tier packages (Addon) on the SunMC server layer as well.
    And a SunMC 3.6 server layer can support previous versions of the agents but not the other way around. The upgrade process is to start by upgrading your server layer, then console layer, and then over time at your leisure the agent layer.
    Thanks,
    Mike

  • Does SunMC agent need SNMP packages

    I'm configuring JASS (Security Toolkit) to run on newly jumpstarted machines and wanted to run the finish script: disable-snmp, but wasn't sure if SunMC needed to have these packages installed in order to run. I currently am at 3.0 but will be upgrading to 3.5. I have not run JASS on our current SunMC agents yet, but they do have these installed? How can I find out what packages SunMC needs?

In fact most people disable the SNMP daemon that comes with current versions of Solaris ("snmpdx" process) and disable its start script (/etc/rc3.d/S76snmpdx) .. so that SunMC can take over the default SNMP port (161).
    Are you removing packages for security reasons? Is your environment critical enough you cannot simply disable unused services (like snmpdx)?

  • Max File size in UFS and ZFS

    Hi,
    Any one can share what is max file size can be created in Solaris 10 UFS and ZFS ?
    What will be max size file compression using tar,gz ?
    Regards
    Siva

    from 'man ufs':
    A sparse file  can have  a  logical  size  of one terabyte.
    However, the  actual amount of data that can be stored
    in  a  file  is  approximately  one  percent  less  than one
    terabyte because of file system overhead.
    As for ZFS, well, its a 128bit filesystem, and the maximum size of a file or directory is 2 ^64^ bytes, which i think is somewhere around 8 exabyte (i.e 8192 petabyte), even though my calculator gave up on calculating it.

  • SunCluster, MPXIO, Clariion and ZFS?

    Hi,
    we have a 2 node cluster (SunCluster 3.2). Our Storage is a EMC Clariion CX700. We have created some zpools and integrated them into the suncluster.
    We cannot use PowerPath 5.1 and 5.2 for this because sun cluster and zfs is not supported in this environment. So, we want to use mpxio. Our question is, if there is a SP-Failover at the clariion, does mpxio support this and everything works fine without any problems?
    Thanks!

  • HASP and ZFS

  • ZfD and ZfS on same server? Centralized monitoring of disk usage? ZfS 6.5 or 7?

    We have ZfD running on one server for approx. 600 users (Sybase db on
    NetWare 6.5).
    We use it for; WS registration, WS Inventory, Application Mgmt, NAL
    database, Imaging)
    I have a mixture of Microsoft Windows and Novell NetWare servers.
    Approximately:
    30 Microsoft Windows servers (2000 and 2003)
    10 Novell NetWare servers (NW 5.1 SP7 and NW 6.5 SP3)
    Q1: Is it feasable to have the ZfS backend running on the same server that
    hosts the ZfD backend ?
    We are trying to find a way to monitor all server for disk usage. Ideally
    we want to get a view/report of all servers (regardless of Novell or
    Microsoft) to see where each disk is at with regards to available space and
    also see historical trends for disk usage.
    Q2: Can ZfS do this for us? We are licensed to use it but so far we've
    only implemented the ZfD 6.5.2 and are quite please with the results.
    Q3: Also, since we are licensed to use the latest ZfD and ZfS, any reason
    to implement ZfS 7 instead of ZfS 6.5? We know that ZfD 7 is pretty much
    the same as ZfD 6.5.2 so we've decided to hold back on this upgrade. If we
    move forward with ZfS, I'm guessing that sticking with same version being
    used with ZfD is a good idea?
    Thanks for any answers!

    Yes, it's very workable with both ZFD and ZFS on the same box. ZFS can
    monitor any of these features. It uses SNMP to do this on both netware and
    windows.

    Glad to hear ZFD is working for you.

    Yes, although ZFS7 subscribers can run on XP, but I don't think 6.5 can.
    In a way, zfd and zfs are very separate and the patches do not have to
    match, but if you can keep it the same, than do. :)
    Hope that helps.

  • Can't access an agent- issues with order and installation

    I had my installation for a new service today and had issues with the order. I have been trying to talk to agent after 6 hrs and I still haven't reached anyone. My order is messed up and I have a phone number with the package, but I have no clue what my number is.   I need help ASAP. I'm a new comcast customer and it's already going bad. I was with Direct tv for 7 years and had no issues with them. The installation process was seamless with DTV....Comcast...not so much.  

    Sorry to hear about your issues with Comcast. I let a Comcast employee from the corporate office know about your issues and have requested that they reach out to you. If you don't hear from anyone soon, let me know.

  • SunMC agent core dump but has a limit of zero and wont actually core dump

    Greetings,
    Before I put a call in with Sun, I thought I would find if anyone else has a similiar problem. I have SunMC 3.5.1 running on a number of platforms and generally it is quite stable. I do have a number of SunFire 1280's (Netra T-12 to SunMC) each with 3 system boards with 96 GB of RAM. These systems are worked pretty hard and about every day or so, each agent on each system crashes. The problem is that there is a limit of zero for the agent core dump and it wont produce a core dump. Other processes dump with no problems. I gather they may be some limit in one of the SunMC config files but I don't know where to look. Without a core dump, it makes life hard to work out what causes it. I am only running the basic module monitoring so nothing else is loaded. If the basic module wont stay up, then why spend money to but in advanced monitoring????
    Any info would be appreciated. I have worked with the fabulous Sun team regarding SunMC and I find months waiting for an answer somewhat frustrating.
    Regards
    Stephen

    Hi Ian,
    Thanks for the info. I will have a look at the patches. I noticed 3.5.1b has been released but as per usual, Sun does not really put much effort into saying what is good about it and why we should make the effort for upgrading. I could not wait to move from version 3 to 3.5 as it was so hard to manage patchwise.
    One other thing that annoys me no end is the SunRay integration (/opt/SUNWut/sbin/utsunmc) alarms that appear. Once or twice, when I try to acknowledge the alarm, it just hangs. The event log says that I am trying to acknowledge an event that does not exist.
    But then again, it has to be good because it does not cost anything other than time and the millions of dollars we spend on Sun equipment so we can use SunMC. That much money is better spend on hardware then on Tivoli right?? I think I can get a base model 25k for less than implementing Tivoli.
    Regards
    Stephen

  • Problems starting SunMC Agent 3.6 under Solaris 10

    Hi folks,
    I just did a test installation of the new SunMC 3.6 Server which worked fine. Afterwards, I did a fresh install of the 3.6 agent on a Sun Enterprise 420R running Solaris 10. I installed the agent in the global zone.
    At the end of the setup, when the system asks me if I want to start the agent, which I affirmed. But this didn't work, system says just laconically "Could not start agent". Unfortunately, I can't even find the logs, since there is no log subdirectory under /var/opt/SUNWsymon. Have they moved this under Solaris 10?
    Any ideas somebody how to dig into this?
    Regards,
    Peter

    Hi Mike,
    This sounds a lot like a post just a few days ago:
    http://forum.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=27785&tstart=0Well, yes and no...I read this thread and I found some similarities but it's not the same problem. Besides, this was Solaris 8, I've 10 and my guess is that it has something to do with Sol10.
    What do you see when you start the Agent with this command:
    /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-start -aiNo error...I end up in a prompt:
