How to Install Multi-Port Monitor › Enable RAID Monitoring

Enable RAID Monitoring

Multi-Port Monitor provides RAID status monitoring when the Adaptec Storage Manager (arcconf) utility is installed. Multi-Port Monitor receives RAID-related SNMP traps when the utility is installed. When the utility is not installed the RAID section indicates Status unavailable on the System Status page in the web interface.

Follow these steps:

1. Download the arcconf utility, arcconf_v1_6_21062.zip, from the Adaptec website at http://www.adaptec.com/en-us/speed/raid/storage_manager/arcconf_v1_6_21062_zip.php.

   Note: Version v1_6_21062 for 64-bit Linux is the only version that has been tested with Multi-Port Monitor.

2. Copy the arcconf_v1_6_21062.zip file to the /tmp folder on the appliance. Use a method of your choosing, such as the WinSCP secure copy client.

   Note: Secure copy tools require credentials to log in to the appliance. Use the netqos account.

3. Log in to Linux on the appliance using the netqos account.
4. Install the .rpm file:

   sudo /opt/NetQoS/install/setupRAIDCLI.sh /tmp/arcconf_v1_6_21062.zip

   The message “Stopping Adaptec Storage Manager agent” is normal.

5. Verify the status of the RAID controller:

   sudo  /usr/StorMan/arcconf  getconfig  1
   

   After the Adaptec utility is installed, the System Status page on the Multi-Port Monitor web interface displays the status of both RAID arrays. Because RAID status is monitored every 2 minutes, you can experience a short delay before the status appears on the System Status page.

The appliance is ready for configuration as a monitoring device for CA Application Delivery Analysis, CA APM, or both. For information about post-installation configuration tasks, see the Multi-Port Monitor online help or the CA Multi-Port Monitor Administrator Guide.
