SUMMARY: RM6.22 Raid Event mail messages

this situation. People did not recommend that I disable the
parity checking, especially for mission critical systems. It
was recommended that I change the /usr/lib/osa/bin/rmscript
so that the email that I will recieve will show the result
of the parity check. This is what I ended up doing.
The line to change is from:
# Mail the superuser that an event has occurred
(awk -F\~ 'NF > 0 { printf "An array event has been detected on Controller %s \n Device %s at Host %s - Time %s %s\n", $2, $3, $1, $4, $5 }' < $1;
echo "\nGo to the Message Log in the Status Application for details" ) | mailx - s "raid Event" root
to:
# Mail the superuser that an event has occurred
(awk -F\~ 'NF > 0 { printf "An array event has been detected on Controller %s \n Device %s at Host %s - Time %s %s\n %s", $2, $3, $1, $4, $5, $7 }' < $1;
echo "\nGo to the Message Log in the Status Application for details" ) | mailx - s "raid Event" root
This changes the email from:
An array event has been detected on Controller 1T83601869
Device c0t5d0 at Host sun-s21.ajb.org - Time 02/24/2002 02:27:35
Go to the Message Log in the Status Application for details
to:
An array event has been detected on Controller 1T83620382
Device c1t5d0 at Host sun-s20.ajb.org - Time 02/26/2002 10:49:19
No parity errors detected on db046_002.

I tested it work and it seemed to work, I'll find out for sure
this weekend when the normal parity check takes place.

Hello,
I have several E4500's with A1000 arrays with Raid Manager 6.22
software. Some of the E4500's have Solaris 2.6 installed and
some have Solaris 8 installed.
Each week, I get an email that has the following in it:
An array event has been detected on Controller 1T83601869
Device c0t5d0 at Host {hostname} - Time 02/24/2002 02:27:35
Go to the Message Log in the Status Application for details
When I go to the status window, I see messages such as:
2/24/2002 2:29:18 db046_002 General - c1t5d0
When I go to the show details section, I see that the
Description says "No parity errors detected on db046_002".
I know that these are just informational messages, but
are these normal? Is there a way to get rid of getting
this email when there is not a problem? I opened a ticket with
Sun and they told me to either disable paritiy checking (but
the manual recommends having automated parity checking), or
to comment out the mailx entries in the script /usr/lib/osa/bin/rmscript,
which would make me not get any messages, even if there is an error.
Can I get rid of just these, or should I just live with
getting the emails?
Thanks!
