Hi all,
I have some HP and IBM machines with Fbre Channel cards.
HP: Emulex LightPulse A8003A
IBM: Qlogic FibreChannel Adapter
I like to monitory the FC Cards for traffic information on the FC ports.
The "SNMP - Interface Statistics" template which comes with Cacti does not show the FC ports - only the "normal" copper based network ports are shown.
Any templates available (I am running Cacti 0.8.7c)
Background:
The machines are connected via FC to a Datacore SAN Melody plus ESX Servers infrastructure (I am not an expert in Datacore and ESX so can't explain in detail).
The FC cards on the HPs are shown as Network cards, on the IBMs they show up as "SCSI and RAID controllers" in Device Manager.
It appears that traffic on the FC is not IP based.
I can monitor the Brocade FC switches with the Cisco template (or the Brocade template already available), but since there are some direct Server-to-Server connections I will need to monitor the ports on the servers directly (at least some of them).
Any help appreciated.
Regards
Guido
