[smokeping-users] Using smokeping with Fibre Channel ping

[Wilson, Robert S.]

Thanks Peter, I was thinking the same thing but I didn't want to
re-invent the wheel if somebody else had already done it.

 

Thanks again

I don't think there's anything that will work 'out of the box' to do
what you need... but if you have some Perl skills you might be able to
write your own Probe module for it.

I would approach it one of 2 ways:

- If memory serves, there is a utility called fcping that works much
like the regular (IP) ping command, but pings a WWPN.  You'd have to
write a Probe module to support it.

- Pull information from one of the FC switches directly.  You could
probably use the IOSping probe module as a template and modify as
necessary.

I know it's probably not the answer you were hoping for, but it's all I
can think of at the moment.

- Peter

I'm interested in using Smokeping for our Fibre Channel network. We have
Cisco MDS 9500 series switches. 

Has anyone done this or have any ideas on how to do this?

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Thank You
