Due to a mismatch between the definition of an alert for RAID disk failure in alert.conf, and the actual log message syntax, the appropriate SNMP traps are not issued when a disk is failing.
Actual log message syntax matches the following: 'alert kernel: md/raid1:md12: Disk failure on dm-29, disabling device.' As a result, there is no SNMP trap for a failing disk, so no SNMP trap is issued, and the LCD message is not displayed.
This happens when there is a RAID disk failure and the definition RAID disk failure in alert.conf is similar to the following: alert BIGIP_RAID_DISK_FAILURE "raid[0-9]: Disk failure .*?" { snmptrap OID=".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.96"; lcdwarn description="RAID disk failure." priority="3" }
For information about configuring custom traps, see SOL3727: Configuring custom SNMP traps, available here: https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/3000/700/sol3727.html.
RAID disk failure and alert.conf log message now match, so appropriate SNMP traps are now issued when a disk is failing.
