Device name: Type the name of the device monitor. You can use up to 32
alphanumeric characters.
Application name: Specify the name of the HP Scalable NAS application to be
associated with this device monitor. HP Scalable NAS applications are used to group
related virtual hosts, service monitors, and device monitors on the Applications tab.
If you leave this field blank, HP Scalable NAS will use the name of the device monitor
as the application name.
Device type: Select the appropriate device type (DISK, CUSTOM, or
SHARED_FILESYSTEM).
Timeout and Frequency: These fields are set to the default values for the type of device
you have selected. Change them as needed.
The other monitor parameters are dependent on the type of monitor that you are
creating.
• DISK monitor. At the “Monitor partition” prompt, specify a partition on the disk.
The monitor will periodically attempt to read the first block of this partition to de-
termine whether the disk is operating normally. Type the full partition name such
as /dev/sda1.
• CUSTOM monitor. At the “User probe script” prompt, specify the pathname to
the probe script to be used with the monitor. See Custom scripts, page 345 for
information about writing probe scripts.
• SHARED_FILESYSTEM monitor. At the “Filesystem” prompt, select the filesystem
that is to be monitored. The “Filename” parameter is optional. Enter the name of
a file that the monitor probe should open and attempt to read to determine the
health of the filesystem. The filename should be relative to the mount point of the
filesystem. When the filesystem is mounted, the mountpath will be prepended to
the filename to determine the complete filename path that should be probed. If
