Hi,

We currently have a monitoring setup for powerpath devices. We monitor the link status,trspassing of LUN through this and it is working with out any issues.

For the past few weeks, we had some trouble with powerpath devices and it is because of forgetting to issue "powermt save" command while adding new LUN.

We would like get a warning message if one of our admins forget to issue "powermt save" command.

As first idea this can be achived by having a master copy of "powermt display dev=all" at a location and compare the current output. Whenever our admin make changes, they should update this master file after doing "powermt save".

This method also has a drawback. If the admin update the master file without doing "powermt save" the monitoring tool may not report errors and it can be dangerous.


If any one of you know better way of doing this monitoring task, please let me know.

Thanks, Tobias
