what checks are available with OpenSMART 1.2:
Note, this overview refers to OpenSMART V1.2 and later. To see what our planned feature are, look at the Release Plan. If you have a bug report / feature request / test results for us, please report them. We try to write checks to run on every supported platform (that is: AIX, HP/UX, Solaris, Linux, darwin, *BSD, Windows). Sometimes this is not possible or just senseless. Checks not working on every supported platform are marked. If you find below not the check you are searching, you can try to look at nagios resources (Nagios), and implement those checks through the OpenSMART SIMPLE adapter in the osmart agent. aixswraid (AIXSWRAID) - What to check ?
Is your AIX LVM mirror working correctly ? - Operating System
- AIX
