Monitoring IBM server-hardware (x3650) running Windows

[Klaus Umbach]

Hi,
How can I monitor the hardware in IBM servers running Windows, especially
the physical harddrives?

I can't see anything via SNMP that makes sense and the IBM Director Agents
sends no traps if a drive fails.

I played around with check_serveraid, changed the ssh-stuff to winexe,
but I don't like that solution because it needs an administrative account
to execute ipssend.exe AND it doesn't work an all servers (sometimes it
says "Found 0 IBM ServeRAID controller(s).", which is definitly a lie!)
Before that inconsistency I even thought about compiling it with pp and
run it via NRPE.

My current workaround is checking the application-eventlog and filter for
the source substr:ServeRAID.

Has anybody found a better solution?

Cheers
	Klaus
