Disk Monitor Reference
The EMS disk monitor reports information on the physical and logical volumes configured by LVM (Logical Volume Manager). Anything not configured through LVM is not monitored from the disk monitor. Monitored disk resources are:
•Physical volume summary (/vg/vgName/pv_summary), a summary status of all physical volumes in a volume group.
•Physical volume and physical volume link status
(/vg/vgname/pv_pvlink/status/deviceName), the status of a given physical volume or PV links in a volume group.
•Logical volume summary (/vg/vgName/lv_summary), a summary status of all logical volumes in a volume group.
•Logical volume status (/vg/vgName/lv/status/lvName), the status of a given logical volume in a volume group.
•Logical volume copies (/vg/vgName/lv/copies/lvName), the number of copies of data available in a volume group.
Monitoring both the physical and logical volumes allows you to detect failures in both active and inactive volume groups and logical volumes and correct hardware problems that put node, application, or data availability at risk.
Figure 2-1 shows the class hierarchy for the disk monitor.
Items in boxes are resource instances that can be monitored.
Items in italics change depending on the names of volume groups, devices, and logical volumes on the system.
