Hi,

I get an error message when trying this: snmpget - no community name. What version of snmpget are you using. The one I downloaded now is 5.0.pre3 from net-snmp.

It expects to see: USAGE: snmpget [OPTIONS} AGENT OID [OID].... I didn't see in the script that you supply the OID and the community name is not proceeded by the -c flag.

Several people have asked for my script, so I've put it on a web page. You can find it here: http://www.cuddletech.com/netapp/ Everything you need to know if on that page. Let me know if anyone has trouble with it, it should be very easy to use.

This happens all the time. Older disks are more prone to this. I have a script that runs every Sunday and checks for errors in the messages files (any disk with more than 5 errors in a week gets manually failed) and then it checks the "fcadmin device_map" for "XXX". If that shows it flags it. Nothing special but it is something to let me know if a disk has spun down. This, for obvious reasons, doesn't work on scsi shelves (but I only have 8 of those left and I am working on removing them from service now.

You could do what Sam mentioned with the disk counts too. Either way will work. C-

We actually had this happen with a 9GB drive on a 740 when it was powered down and back up once (months ago). I just figured it was a one-time thing (and this thing was running an ancient version of the OS), but hearing this from you all now...well, I'm a little concerned about the 760s and 840s we have in production.

Any chance someone want to share any scripts they have written to look for this - it'd be helpful as a starting point at least.

Thanks,

Oz
