Monitor Description

The iSCSI monitor, dm_iscsi_adapter, is designed to monitor the operation of the iSCSI Driver, on your system.

If a problem is detected with the driver, the monitor immediately sends an event to Event Monitoring Service, which alerts you using the notification methods defined for the monitor. Clear, concise error messages identify the problem, what caused it, and what must be done to correct it.

The monitor employs asynchronous event detection. The monitor continuously watches for any errors or abnormal behavior reported by the device driver during I/O operations. If an error occurs, it is passed directly to the monitor for immediate analysis. If the error warrants notification, an event is generated immediately.

The monitor is launched automatically when the system is started.

Monitor Name

/usr/sbin/stm/uut/bin/tools/monitor/dm_iscsi_adapter


Configuration Files

Startup Configuration File (.sapcfg)

File name: /var/stm/config/tools/monitor/dm_iscsi_adapter.sapcfg

Default Entries: The monitor uses the standard default monitor request entries.

Monitor Configuration File (.cfg)
File name: /var/stm/config/tools/monitor/dm_iscsi_adapter.cfg

Default settings:

Polling Interval N/A - Employs Asynchronous Event Detection
Repeat Frequency N/A
Severity Action Notify for all levels

As a Multiple-view (Predictive-enabled) hardware monitor, the Repeat Frequency and Severity Action are no longer set in the Monitor Configuration file (.cfg) but are now set in the Default Client Configuration file (.clcfg) described below.

Default Client Configuration File (.clcfg) CLCFG_VERSION:A.01.00

File name: /var/stm/config/tools/monitor/default_dm_iscsi_adapter.clcfg

Monitors containing the client-configuration files (.clcfg) are Multiple-View enabled monitors. Client-configuration files can be used to control the text sent in text messages to specific targets (for example, to Predictive Support). The default_dm_core_hw.clcfg applies to messages sent to all targets. Specific .clcfg files (for example, predictive_dm_core_hw.clcfg) are used to control the text sent to specific targets (in this example, to Predictive Support).

HOST_ID tags in the .clcfg files control the System Information, which is reported under the "Additional System Data" label in the event messages. If a HOST_ID tag is enabled in the *.clcfg file, then the corresponding information will appear in the event message.

HOST_IDs available for all monitors are described in the Generic Monitor Data Sheet.

DEV_ID tags in the .clcfg files control the Monitor-specific information, which is reported under the "Component Data" label in the event messages. If a DEV_ID tag is enabled in the *.clcfg file, then the corresponding information will appear in the event message. DEV_IDs available for this monitor include:

DEV_ID tag Default Text label
dev_pdev On Physical Device Path
dev_inq_vendor Off Inquiry Vendor ID
dev_serial_num Off Serial Number
