hp 3par storage array templates

[shanekennedy]

wasn't able to find any templates for hp's 3par storage arrays, so created some

the queries use the 3par CLI which is downloadable from hp & included in your 3par Inform OS cd's

these templates were created using: redhat 6.2, cacti 0.8.8.a, 3par CLI 3.1.1



extract contents of 3par_cacti.tgz

import cacti_host_template_3par.xml from web interface > console tab > import templates

move 3par.ksh & 3par-graph-tree-generator.ksh to <path_cacti>/scripts/

move 3par_ports.xml & 3par_vvols.xml to <path_cacti>/resource/script_queries/

chown cactiuser:users <path_cacti>/scripts/3par* <path_cacti>/resource/script_queries/3par*

chmod 755 <path_cacti>/scripts/3par*

if you do not plan to query with 1 minute intervals, update the TIMESTEP variable in <path_cacti>/scripts/3par.ksh to be the number of seconds of you query interval



install 3par CLI, it ships with 3par InForm OS package, or is downloadable from HP

this should install to /opt/3PAR/inform_cli_3.1.1, if not, the update CLI variable in <path_cacti>/scripts/3par.ksh

create a user/encrypted-password file for the 3par by running:

/opt/3PAR/inform_cli_3.1.1/bin/setpassword -saveonly -file /opt/3PAR/inform_cli_3.1.1/bin/up
chmod 600 /opt/3PAR/inform_cli_3.1.1/bin/up

chown cactiuser /opt/3PAR/inform_cli_3.1.1/bin/up

up is the output file, if you change the filename, update the TPDPWFILE variable in <path_cacti>/scripts/3par.ksh

verify your password file works without typing a password:

su – cactiuser

export TPDPWFILE=/opt/3PAR/inform_cli_3.1.1/bin/up

/opt/3PAR/inform_cli_3.1.1/bin/cli -sys YOUR_3PAR_HOSTNAME showsys –space # this should show capacity utilization




verify cacti poller script works:

<path_cacti>/scripts/3par.ksh YOUR_3PAR_HOSTNAME vvindex # this should list all you volumes




you probably have more than a handful of ports & volumes on your 3par so to avoid having to create graphs for multiple pages go to: cacti console > settings > visual (tab) > graph creation > data query graph rows > & set the value to 5000

add a new device in the cacti GUI for your 3par array using the 3par host template

go to the bottom of the device page for the 3par you just added & click on the verbose queries for the associated data queries to verify queries work. if the verbose queries fail to find your volumes & ports, wait 1 minute & try again

click on create-graphs-for-this-host in the cacti device window

select all the graph_templates, all the data queries for 3par_ports, and all the data queries for 3par_vols & hit the create button at the bottom of the page

make sure you don’t have multiple pages of volumes/ports, if you do, you need to go to each page and add graphs

after these graphs are created, go to the bottom of the data_query for 3par_ports on the same page & change stats3parPorts to stats3parPorts_IO_Size, select all the ports again & click the create button again, continue the method for stats3parPorts_IOPS, stats3parPorts_KBPS, & stats3parPorts_service_time




now that all the graphs are created, you’ll need to add them to the graph tree

just adding the device to the graph tree will place every graph under 1 heading & it will be impossible to find anything

i created a script to build a more organized graph tree, it works for me, but was a quick hack

modify the HOST & CACTIDIR variables in <path_cacti>/scripts/3par-tree-generator.ksh to be the hostname of your 3par array & the run the <path_cacti>/scripts/3par-tree-generator.ksh script once for each 3par array you have

the 2 times i ran this script it crapped out, but the 3rd time was a charm. couldn’t figure out why. if you have issues, cntrl-c to kill the script then go to cacti console > graph_trees > & delete the 3par tree. then re-run the tree-generator. if it works correctly the only output you should see is “adding XXX : added XXX”


note, my 3par has 4 nodes labeled node0/node1/node4/node5. i didn’t take the time to make the cpu data/graph,/data_input_method templates generic. so if you have more/less/differently-named nodes, you will need to update the cpu templates

Thank you very much! Just got a 3par 7200, and was disappointed with how little is provided via SNMP.
I made some changes to cacti_host_template_3par.xml to let it work on Cacti 0.8.7g.

[intelic76]

Does this require that SNMP be working? I've yet to figure out snmp on the 3par bits.

I've gotten the scripts to return the data and such, and the verbose queries return data the Graphs and RRD data are not updating.

Any thoughts?

[intelic76]

I also noticed the rrd "host" directory and its RRD's are not being created..

[intelic76]

Finally got it to work by starting over... I think the only step I changed was when I imported host template (after changing permissions on the files etc..) either that, or when I chmod/chown'd I missed a step when I reran the commands numerous times..

[greghaa]

These 3par graphs look good. I have 2 7400's that have been installed and are working.

Problem I am seeing is that although everything is installing fine, scripts work, all looks good.
When I go to create the graphs it seems it is doing it, but nothing gets created on the filesystem.

I have re-installed and gone through the steps at least 5 or 6 times now deleting everything and starting again.

Any ideas why these won't create the graphs? Everything else I graph they are created fine with no issue.

I see a bunch of this in the apache error_log

[garethhwilson]

I have followed the instructions but it is not generating any of the rrd files in the rra folder, what am i doing wrong ??

Thanks in advance

[shanekennedy]

does the ksh script have executable permissions:

shkenn@cacti:/var/www/html/cacti/scripts> ls -l /var/www/html/cacti/scripts/3par.ksh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 cactiuser users 8177 May 6 2013 /var/www/html/cacti/scripts/3par.ksh*

is ksh installed:

shkenn@cacti:/var/www/html/cacti/scripts> rpm -qa | grep -i ksh

Hi,

I installed a cacti server on a Debian OS (Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt25-2 (2016-04-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux) and want to monitor my HP 3PAR SAN.

when I run this command I have an error :

Code: Select all

/opt/3PAR/inform_cli_3.1.1/bin/setpassword -saveonly -file /opt/3PAR/inform_cli_3.1.1/bin/up 

The error is

Code: Select all

/opt/3PAR/inform_cli_3.1.1/bin/setpassword: 2: /opt/3PAR/inform_cli_3.1.1/bin/setpassword: cli: not found 

HP 3PAR CLI 3.1.1 have been successfully installed. Everything is in the right folder : /opt/3PAR/inform_cli_3.1.1/

Any idea where the problem might be ?

Thanks in advance for helping me here.

unsure what is causing your error

my inform directory (inform_cli_3.1.1) is linked to inform_cli in the same dir, unsure if this was done by the installer or manually

cacti:/opt/3PAR> ls -l
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 May 6 2013 inform_cli -> inform_cli_3.1.1/
drwxrwxr-x 9 root root 4096 Feb 27 2013 inform_cli_3.1.1/

if that is already in place you could try stracing the command & searching output for errors

just run the following:

strace /opt/3PAR/inform_cli_3.1.1/bin/setpassword -saveonly -file /opt/3PAR/inform_cli_3.1.1/bin/up

answer the questions & then parse the verbose output

[shanekennedy]

you don't have the soft link in /opt, unsure if it matter but to add it run:

ln -s /opt/3PAR/inform_cli_3.1.1 /opt/3PAR/inform_cli

then try again to run:

/opt/3PAR/inform_cli_3.1.1/bin/setpassword -saveonly -file /opt/3PAR/inform_cli_3.1.1/bin/up

if that fails run strace on the above command

when it prompts for system, enter the hostname of your 3par & the a username/password for an administrative account
