NAMEDevice::RAID::Poller - Basic RAID status poller, returning RAID disk devices, types, and status.VERSIONVersion 0.2.0SYNOPSISQuick summary of what the module does.Perhaps a little code snippet. use Device::RAID::Poller; my $drp = Device::RAID::Poller->new(); ... METHODSnewThis initiates the object.modules_getGets the currently specified modules to run.A return of undef means none are set and at run-time each module will be loaded and tried. my @modules=$drp->modules_get; modules_setThis sets modules to use if one does not wish to attempt to load them all upon load.list_backendsThis lists the available backends. This lists the full backends name, meaning it will return 'Device::RAID::Poller::Backends::fbsdGmiiror';my $backends=$drp->list_backends; The returned value is a hashref where each key is a name of a backend module. If you want this as a array, you can do the following. my @backends=keys %{ $drp->list_backends }; list_loadedThis returns the list of backends that loaded successfully.loadThis loads up the modules. Each one in the list is checked and then if started successfully, it is saved for reuse later.my $loaded=$drp->load; if ( $loaded ){ print "One or more backends are now loaded.\n"; }else{ print "No usable backends found.\n"; } runRuns the poller backend and report the results.If nothing is nothing is loaded, load will be called. m6 %status=$drp->run; STATUS HASHThe statu hash made of of hashes. Each subhash is the of the type documented under the section RAID HASH.The keys of this hash are the device name as regarded by the module in question. These may not represent a valid name under /dev, but may just be a name generated to differentiate it from other devices. Both the ZFS and MegaCLI backends are examples of this. In ZFS cases the zpool is just a mountpoint some place. As to MegaCLI it is a name generated from info gathered from the card. RAID HASHstatusThis can be any of the following values. bad - missing disks good - all disks are present initializing - Array is being created. rebuilding - one or more drives is being rebuilt unknown - Unable to determine the current status. name The name of the device. backend The backend that put polled this device. This is the name of the module under "Device::RAID::Poller::Backends::". So "Device::RAID::Poller::Backends::ZFS" would be "ZFS". good This is a list of good disks in the array.. bad This is a list of bad disks in the array. spare This is a list of spare disks in the array. type This is type of RAID in question. This is a string that describes the RAID array. This may also be complex, such as for ZFS it is the output of 'zpool status' for the pool in question. BBUstatus This can be any of the following values. notPresent - No BBU. na - Not applicable. Device does not support it. failed - BBU failed. good - BBU is good. charging - BBU is charging. unknown - BBU status is not known. testing - BBU is currently in testing mode BACKENDSA backend is a module that exists directly under "Device::RAID::Poller::Backends::".Three methods must be present and as of currently are expected to run with no arguments. new usable run The new method creates the object. The usable method runs some basic checks to see if it is usable or not. The run method returns a hash with the assorted info. See the section BACKEND RETURN HASH for more information. BACKEND RETURN HASHThis is composed of keys below.devices - A array of hashes as documented in the section RAID HASH. stutus - A 0/1 representing if it the the run method was successful. ERROR HANDLING/CODES1/invalidModuleA non-existent module to use was specified.2/notLoadedEither load has not been called or no usable modules were found.AUTHORZane C.
