I'm currently playing with ToasterView (http://www.cuddletech.com/code/toasterview/index.html). It looks like something we'll want to run with, but I've hit a snag. ToasterView uses the deprecated dfTable values in the MIB to pull volume sizes. This is okay for volumes less than 2^31 KB (~2TB) in size. In fact, everything looks good for volumes under this on our systems. However we have one volume on each head greater than 2TB (one is 3+ and the other is ~4).
My problem is this: NetApp implemented new MIB values to address this issue. There is now a high and low value representing the high-order and low-order 32 bits of a 64-bit number. Has anyone modified ToasterView (and Toasterview_rrd) to use these new values and support volumes > 2TB in size? If so, would you be willing to share the code (or appropriate snippets)?
Thanks in advance, Jeff Mery - MCSE, MCP National Instruments
