mdmonitord(1M)		System Administration Commands		mdmonitord(1M)

NAME
       mdmonitord - daemon to monitor metadevices

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/mdmonitord [-t time_interval]

DESCRIPTION
       The  mdmonitord	utility is part of Solaris Volume Manager. It monitors
       and checks RAID1 (mirrors), RAID5 and hot spares.

       There are two methods for checking:

	 ·  At fixed time intervals.

	 ·  When a RAID-1 (mirror), RAID-5, or hot spare fails. A failure gen‐
	    erates   an	 error	event  which triggers a check of these metade‐
	    vices.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -t	       Time interval in seconds.   The	default	 value	is  0,
		       which causes probes to occur only upon an error. If you
		       want to run mdmonitord at a regular interval,  a	 value
		       of  1800 (seconds, every half hour) is recommended as a
		       starting point.

EXIT STATUS
       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Successful completion.

       >0	An error occurred.

NOTES
       Since  frequent	probes	can affect performance, it is recommended that
       the intervals between probes be limited.

       The mdmonitord service is managed by the service	 management  facility,
       smf(5), under the service identifier:

       svc:/system/mdmonitor

       Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or
       requesting restart, can be performed using  svcadm(1M).	The  service's
       status can be queried using the svcs(1) command.
