Are you running Debian in a VMWare guest VM? What OS is the Hypervisor running? Do you want to _remotely_ check win2k HP raid arrays? As far as debian goes, you will only be able to run Debian as the Hypervisor OS and check the HP RAID array of the hypervisor _locally_. You want to check HP raid array using hpacucli? I imagine this is one of the black magic binaries like Dell / AMI / LSI Logic megacli/megarc that will only work with special kernel hacks and modules, and of course, proper sudo permissions. ~BAS On Mon, 2008-01-14 at 14:58 -0800, Steve Amat wrote: > Hi all, > I need some help installing plugins for monitoring HP arrays.
