I've installed OMSA on Linux servers, then used some command-line scripts to parse status and send to another monitoring system. This way I'm not saddled with a "Dell-centric" monitoring console, yet still can see inside these servers. Here's the output of commands I monitor: # omreport chassis Health Main System Chassis SEVERITY : COMPONENT Ok : Fans Ok : Intrusion Ok : Memory Ok : Power Supplies Ok : Power Management Ok : Processors Ok : Temperatures Ok : Voltages Ok : Hardware Log Ok : Batteries # omreport storage vdisk List of Virtual Disks in the System Controller PERC H700 Integrated (Slot 4) ID : 0 Status : Ok Name : system State : Ready Hot Spare Policy violated : Not Assigned Encrypted : Not Applicable Layout : RAID-10 Size : 929.00 GB (997506154496 bytes) Device Name : /dev/sda Bus Protocol : SATA Media : HDD Read Policy : Adaptive Read Ahead Write Policy : Write Back Cache Policy : Not Applicable Stripe Element Size : 64 KB Disk Cache Policy : Enabled Easy to parse this text for errant hardware, then send a report elsewhere. I've NOT done this on Windows, however. -- Jon Dustin - Network Specialist University of Southern Maine Portland, ME 207-780-4152 _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
