This package is the Toshiba POS SSD Life Monitor Drivers for Linux 1.1 instrumentation. This package monitors fixed Solid State Disks on an Toshiba POS system to determine when the number of writes to an SSD is reaching lifetime maximum.
The toshiba-ssddrv-suse-1.1.1-1.0.i586.rpm contains the user mode libraries and support files that form the instrumentation. This rpm requires that the sblim-sfcb cimserver package is already installed.
% rpm -ivh toshiba-ssddrv-suse-1.1.1-1.0.i586.rpm
This will install the ssddrv libraries, update the SFCB
repository with class definitions for RSS_SSDLifeMonitor and RSS_SSDLifeMonitorFailureImminent CIM classes.
Most Toshiba customers will want to use RMA to allow interconnection of the instrumentation CIM classes to remote systems management software such as IBM Director. After install of the instrumentation the RMA General Agent daemon on the POS machine should be stopped and restarted in order to pick up cimserver repository and other system changes.
More about RMA can be found at: ToshibaRemote Management Agent V2 R6
The drivers have three configuration options available by editing the /etc/ssddrv/ssddrv.ini file.
min=10% max=100% default 95%
default is every 10 seconds
default is '0' Off
The drivers log abnormal conditions to /var/log/ssddrv/ssddrv.log. For normal production usage there is no need to change this behaviour. In fact it is not recommended. If any problems surface however additional information may be logged for purposes of support.
To enable detailed logging edit the /etc/ssddrv/log.conf file. Change the Level property to 4 to enable very detailed trace logging. You may also wish to change the MaxLength property if you wish to log for any length of time as the logfile will fill quickly. Recycle the SFCB cimserver so that the instrumentation libraries pick up the logger configuration changes.
