RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Cause:
snmpd ignored value of 'storageUseNFS' option in /etc/snmpd/snmpd.conf
Consequence:
NFS drives were shown as 'Network Disks', even though 'storageUseNFS' was set to '2', i.e. to report them as 'Fixed Disks' in HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageTable.
Fix:
snmpd now takes 'storageUseNFS' option value into account.
Result:
When set to '2', NFS drives are reported as 'Fixed Disks'.
Customer is using Whatsup Gold" monitoring tool which only reports on the status of what it considers to be fixed disk.
It's documentation makes that clear, and thus requires that all the systems report nfs mounts as fixed disk. Without this, no ability to monitor the disk sizes of NFS disk.
Production systems had run out of space because this monitor didn't catch it.
