udisks2_lsm.conf - Man Page

The lsm module of UDisks2 uses LibStorageMgmt[1] API to provides org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Drive.LSM interface with RAID information for external(DAS or SAN) Linux disk drive. Please refer to storage interface document for detail.

Some storage systems require extra configuration in /etc/udisks2/modules.conf.d/udisks2_lsm.conf.

refresh_interval = <integer>

This option controls how often the RAID information cache should be refreshed. If not defined, the default value is 30 (seconds).

enable_sim = true|false

This option indicates whether the lsm module should try simulator of LibStorageMgmt. This is only for developers. If not defined, the default value is false (do not enable simulator of LibStorageMgmt). If enabled, the sim:// URI will be used to query LibStorageMgmt simulator plugin.

enable_hpsa = true|false

This option indicates whether the lsm module should check HP SmartArray. If not defined, the default value is true (check HP SmartArray).

To be functional this also requires the libstoragemgmt-hpsa-plugin package to be installed and configured properly. Please refer to the hpsa_lsmplugin(1) manpage for detail.

If enabled, the hpsa:// URI will be used to query LibStorageMgmt HP SmartArray plugin.

extra_uris= ["uri_string_1", "uri_string_2"]

This option defines extra LibStorageMgmt URI list here. Please refer to LibStorageMgmt User Guide[3] for the URI format.

Requires double quoted string separated by comma, for example:

              extra_uris = ["ontap+ssl://root@ontap.a.ip", "ontap+ssl://root@ontap.b.ip"]

If not defined, empty list (no extra URI loaded) will be used.

extra_passwords = ["password_string_1", "password_string_2"]

This options defines the passwords of above URI list. Please use double quoted string separated by comma, for example:

              extra_paasswords = ["password1", "password2"]

Any hardware which is supported in LibStorageMgmt with these capabilities will get fully supported by the UDisks2 LSM module:

* VOLUMES capabilities with valid VPD83 information,

* VOLUME_RAID_INFO capabilities.

Please refer to LibStorageMgmt document website[2] for support status.

Tested hardware:

HP SmartArray

Using libstoragemgmt-hpsa-plugin package.

NetApp ONTAP

Using libstoragemgmt-netapp-plugin package.
