Sun Management Center 3.6.1 User's Guide

Appendix C Sun Management Center Software Modules

The Sun Management Center software uses modules to monitor various components of your system. The modules can be separated into four categories: hardware, operating environment, local applications, and remote systems. This appendix provides additional information about the modules that are described in Chapter 11, Managing Modules. In addition, this chapter identifies the modules that are in the four categories.

For more information about other modules that might be applicable to your particular system, see the Sun Management Center web site: http://www.sun.com/sunmanagementcenter/.

This appendix describes the following modules:

Overview of Module Relationships

Most of the Sun Management Center modules have default monitoring conditions that generate alarms when system values fall outside of these conditions. You can alter these default thresholds by creating your own alarm thresholds, as explained in Chapter 12, Managing Alarms.

Some modules utilize the Add Row operation to define the data properties to monitor. These modules start with empty tables. You have to execute an Add Row operation to activate the specifics for monitoring these modules.

The following table lists the modules described in this appendix. The table identifies the following information for each module:

Hardware Modules

When the following modules are loaded, these modules are found under the Hardware section of the Module Browser tab in the Details window:

Volume System Monitoring Module Version 1.0

The Volume System Monitoring module monitors a set of attributes managed by the N1 System Manager (System Manager) agent and displays them in the Module Browser.

ProcedureTo Access the System Manager Server Through Web Console

  1. Navigate through the topology or hierarchy view until you have accessed the System Manager server that has Volume System Monitoring add-on.

  2. Press mouse button 3 and choose Launch Webconsole from the pop-up menu.

    A browser opens at the following site:

    https://<n1smservername>:<n1smserverport>

    Where <n1smservername> is the host name of the System Manager server and <n1smserverport> is the port number on which the System Manager server is listening.

  3. Log in to the System Manager server with appropriate credentials.

ProcedureTo Access the System Manager Server Through SSH

Secure Shell (ssh) is a program for logging into a remote machine and for executing commands on a remote machine. This program connects and logs into the specified hostname. The user must prove the identity to the remote machine using one of several methods depending on the protocol version used.

  1. Navigate through the topology or hierarchy view until you have accessed the System Manager server that has Volume System Monitoring add-on.

  2. Press mouse button 3 and choose SSH to Host from the pop-up menu.

    The ssh program on the System Manager server is started.

  3. Log in to the System Manager server with appropriate credentials.

Sun StorEdge A5x00 Array Module

This module enables you to monitor the state of Sun StorEdge A5000, 5100, and 5200 storage devices, and manage alarms on these devices. The following series of tables identifies the specific rules for each Sun StorEdge A5x00 array.

Operating System

The software provides several modules that monitor the operating system on your host. When the following modules are loaded, these modules are found under the Operating System section of the Module Browser tab in the Details window:

File Monitoring Module Version 2.0

This module enables you to monitor the files on a host. You can isolate any file or number of files and monitor those files individually by loading multiple instances of the File Monitoring module. This module requires you to add rows for the data property tables. For more information, see To Add a Row to a Data Property Table.

The following table lists the File Monitoring Status properties and their descriptions.

Kernel Reader (Simple) Module Version 1.0

The Kernel Reader (Simple) module generates a warning alarm if the module finds any disk with an increasing wait queue while busy.

A warning alarm occurs when the disk is over 75% busy and the average queue length is over 10 with an increasing wait queue. The warning alarm is on until the disk is not over 70% busy and the average queue length is no longer than 8. Similarly, this module generates a warning alarm if 90% of swap space is in use. The alarm remains open until the swap space in use is less than 80% of the total swap space.

The following table provides default alarm thresholds for applicable Kernel Reader modules.

Service Management Facility Module Version 1.0

The Service Management Facility (SMF) module monitors and displays the services running on a host. You can view the current state of a service. However, you cannot create, delete, or modify the properties of a service. You can enable or disable a service when certain conditions are met. For details, see Enabling or Disabling a Service.

The SMF module describes the following details for each service.

Table C–139 Service Details

Field 

Description 

FMRI 

Fault Management Resource Identifier. This identifier identifies each service on the system. 

The syntax of FMRI is svc://host/category/service:instance

where host is the host name on which the service is running.

category is the category under which the service belongs. The category can be application, device, milestone, network, platform, site, or system.

service:instance identifies the specific service.

An example of FMRI is svc://localhost/network/smtp:sendmail.

Time 

Date and time that the service starts. 

Description 

Description of the service. 

Service State 

Current state of the service. The current state can accept one of the following values: 

  • Online. The service is running.

  • Offline. The service is not running or is available to run.

  • Disabled. The service is not running.

  • Maintenance. The service has encountered an error that an administrator must solve.

  • Degraded. Some of the dependency services are not running.

  • Uninitialized. The service is not running. This state is the initial state for all services.


Note –

Even if the SMF module is disabled, you can change the state of a service.


For more information about SMF, see Managing Services (Overview) and Managing Services (Tasks) in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.

ProcedureTo View the Details of a Service

  1. Navigate through the topology or hierarchy view until you have accessed the Service Management Facility module.

    The SMF module displays services based on their category. The details that are displayed for each service are: start time of the service, state of the service, FMRI (Fault Management Resource Identifier), and description of the service.

  2. Select a service.

  3. Press mouse button 3 and choose Service Details from the pop-up menu.

    The Probe Viewer appears that shows the service details, dependencies for the selected service, services that depend on the selected service, and the processes in the selected service.

Enabling or Disabling a Service

You can enable or disable a service when the following conditions are met:


Caution – Caution –

By default, the /var/opt/SUNWsymon/cfg/smf-excl-d.dat file contains essential services such as Sun Management Center services, Physical or Logical network services, Milestone services, and Filesystem services. These services cannot be disabled through this module. You can delete the relevant entries in the smf-excl-d.dat file to disable these services.



Note –

If the /var/opt/SUNWsymon/cfg/smf-excl-d.dat file does not exist, you cannot enable or disable any service.


ProcedureTo Enable or Disable a Service


Caution – Caution –

Ensure that you disable the appropriate service. If you disable the agent service, the application might hang. You will have to restart the agent from the command line.


  1. Navigate through the topology or hierarchy view until you have accessed the Service Management Facility module.

  2. Select a service.

  3. To enable a service, select online from the Service State list.

  4. To disable a service, select disabled from the Service State list.

ProcedureTo Set Alarms

You can set alarms on the Service State field.

  1. Navigate through the topology or hierarchy view until you have accessed the Service Management Facility module.

  2. If a service has encountered an error that must be solved by the administrator, select maintenance from the Service State list.

    When the state of the service is changed to maintenance, it generates alarms.
