Nagios Plugin for the Promise VTrak 200i
June 6th, 2007 by 
Barry O'Donovan
For a project I was working on, I installed a Promise VTrak M200i disk shelf (i for iSCSI but then that’s a whole other blog post!) and needed to add it into the customers management systems.
Unfortunately there didn’t seem to be a lot of information out there on Promise’s SNMP MIBs so with a bit of playing about, I was able to dig out the ones I needed. The Nagios plug-in I wrote and am making available here will monitor the shelf via SNMP and alert on the following chassis issues:
- critical if any of the shelf’s disk states changes from “OK”;
- warning if the battery state changes from “FullyCharged”;
- critical if either of the PSU states change from “Powered On and Functional”;
- critical is any of the cooling devices (fans) change from “Functional”;
- critical if any of the temperature sensors’ states change from “normal”;
- critical if any of the drives go offline or are missing; and
- warning if any of the drives go into the rebuilding state or have their PFA flag set.
While this is specifically designed for a single M200i, it should be easily customisable for other models.
It can be downloaded from here (http://www.opensolutions.ie/). It will also appear on the development section of this site and Nagios Plugins.

Good day! Me credit is good enough. I am an active traveler therefore use frequent flier card to earn bonus miles. Now I am looking for one more rewards card. I am going to apply for a new one online at the site. But do not know for sure whether it is a real site or not. Could you answer me as soon as possible?

I’m using a Provigo 510S from Transtec which is similar to the Promise VTrak series. My OIDs are as follows:
my $snmpDiskStatusTable=’.1.3.6.1.4.1.7933.1.20.2.1.1.8.1′;
my $snmpPSUStatusTable=’.1.3.6.1.4.1.7933.1.20.1.12.1.2.1.1′;

my $snmpTemperatureStatusTable=’.1.3.6.1.4.1.7933.1.20.1.13.1.3.1.1′;
my $snmpDrivesOffline=’.1.3.6.1.4.1.7933.1.20.1.3.1.21.1.1′;
my $snmpDrivesWithPFA=’.1.3.6.1.4.1.7933.1.20.1.3.1.22.1.1′;

Cool
I’m also working on cacti template for this stuff – mostly in the background, so only snmp queries are ready by now. If you are also interested in finishing it and making avaliable to the public pls let me know.
