Service Processor Status

Post by jcpetro »

I have two V400's and the file transfers seem to get stuck from time to time. I am told by HP that this is a bug, and the current fix is to restart the SP's. Does anyone know if there is a good way to script this command line style? if so, is there anything I should be looking out for? I am thinking about writing a script to dump this status into our monitoring tools.

Thanks in advance!!

I have that problem too and would benefit from a script that will detect a hung transfer, and queue a reboot.

I know of 3 ways to interface with the SP, one is through the browser front end, and the other is through SSH, which launches you into a 3PAR menu driven shell that keeps us users out of the root OS... and the last is SCP/SFTP. Perhaps you can grab the transfer logs and parse for trouble.

Ok, so I have been looking at this off and on for a bit, and since I had some time, I picked it back up again. I was actually able to get a dump of the "status" for the file transfer using curl. This is the command I used:

curl -u username:password http://itsvmsan04-sp/sp/get_xfer.php

That wil dump the entire status page, then you can write something to parse out the parts you need.
