Terry,

once you ssh in as "nasadmin", just run them exactly as you have listed. Perl is in the $PATH so you don't need to specify anything extra.

Unfortunately the file isn't executing. I'm unsure if I need to be logged in as root, grant permissions to the file to execute, or if it is scripting related which I don't know well.

Does return any errors or any useful output?

if you run perl scriptname.pl  ..what do you see ?

Just a thought, are you by chance attempting to run this from the secondary control station?  It relies on /nas being mounted which would not be the case on the secondary CS.

Hello,

I have a similar problem trying to run these scripts with a customer. Logged in as root we are getting this error:

bash: ./collect-perfdata.pl: Permission denied

Any ideas?

I'm not very familiar with running scripts

did you try to make script executable ? man chmod

Chmod a+x collect-perfdata.pl

Thanks, that did the trick!

Thanks!

Just a follow-up question here... we got the files, but all the generated .csv files for both VNX filers are empty. Is this normal?

where did you get this perl file ? Was it already on the control station ?

I downloaded it from Mitrend.

Ran it again and this time there was data in the files. So it appears to be working now.
