Vplex: Health check automation.

Does, any one know, how to make the health check automation on Vplex.

Currently we are monitoring manually on daily basis..its taking lot of time to login to each box

Also it would be helpful what are the parameters should we monitor on daily basis. Unfortunately we dont use Control center for monitoring.

Would you please help if you have any idea how to do this. Also if we get alerts on emails, that will ease our job a lot.

One can setup email alerting

/opt/emc/connectemc, run connectemcConfig or just edit ConnectEMC_config.xml

you can run ./connectemcConfig -help to see the parameters

Have you given a shot with ESI 3.5 SCOM Management Packs for health monitoring of VPLEX (https://support.emc.com/search/?text=esi)? And 3.6 is planned for end of the year...

Resolution

1. Discover the SMTP server address and the email sender address being used by ConnectEMC.

Service @ManagementServer:/> cat /opt/emc/connectemc/ConnectEMC_config.xml

7
Primary
700

no
IPV4
xx.x.x.xxx
emailalert@EMC.com
VPlex_CKM12345678@EMC.com
ASCII
Call Home
no
2. Connect to the SMTP server via telnet

Service @ManagementServer:/> telnet xx.x.x.xxx 25

Note: SMTP server IP address is found in ConnectEMC_Config.xml
3. Enter the following commands and press the return/enter key where you see . You do not need to enter the text in italics.

helo localhost

response should be as follows:

250 OK

mail from: VPlex_CKM12345678 @EMC.com

Note: Sender email address is found in ConnectEMC_Config.xml. We use this email address to ensure relaying is permitted correctly.

response should be as follows:

250 OK - mail from VPlex_CKM12345678 @EMC.com
rcpt to:

response should be as follows:

50 OK - Recipient

data

response should be as follows:

354 Send data. End with CRLF.CRLF

Subject: Testing SMTP server

This is the body of my test email

.

Note: The full stop (above) denotes the end of the email body. You need to type this to finalize the email.

response should be as follows:

250 OK

quit
4. Watch your inbox to check if an email is received from VPlex_CKM12345678 @EMC.com with the subject "Testing SMTP server". If you receive no email or if you receive any errors during the process then there may be a problem with the SMTP server.
