Description:

This monitoring and modeling ZenPack provides Dell PowerConnect iSCSI Switch/SAN device information such as interface, fan, power, temp, cpu, iscsi mibs, and storage events.

The Zenpack provides:

• A Powerconnect template which provides:
  • monitors fan state
  • monitors dc and ac supply state
  • monitors temprature
  • graphs for cpu utilisation and temperature (depends on firmware ver)
• Dell-vendor Mibs for iscsi
• Radlan mibs
• Event transforms in /Events/Storage/SAN

The zenpack is extensible and one can incoporate other snmp  datasources or modify the graphs that can be generated from them.  Upgrades may follow depending on features are required.

Components:

The ZenPack has the following Device Class(es)

• Performance Template PowerConnect

  /zport/dmd/Devices/Storage/Switches/rrdTemplates/PowerConnect         checks the status of the fan and the power supply, and alerts  when either goes down.

Event Class Information:

The Path column in the table is starting from the /Events class.         The Code? column indicates if the Event Class contains a  transform or         not.

Installation / Usage:

You will want to model a PowerConnect device with the following steps:

1. Replace the modeler plugin Zenoss.snmp.InterfaceMap with Zenoss.snmp.NewinterfaceMap for the powerconnect devices. Assure that you do this in the correct device class, so as not to effect other devices in other classes.
   
2. Replace the modeler plugin Zenoss.snmp.RouteMap with Zenoss.snmp.NewRouteMap for the powerconnect devices (you can use the BridgeMib zenpack to monitor its interfaces)
3. Make sure you have /Events/Storage/SAN container.
   
4. The template 'PowerConnect' will be placed in /Devices/Storage/Switches, make sure the template is bound to the appropriate devices.
5. In the templates, some datapoints are not enabled by default, make sure to enable appropriate datapoints depending on your device version (default ones should work with 34xx)

Installation Requirements:
