Smart Array monitoring in ESXi 4.1

[mastsrl]

Hello,
i've installed the "retail" version of ESXi on a DL180G6 (i don't have the HP one since it wasn't bought with this) and i can't find any way to enable Smart Array hardware monitoring to Vcenter alerts(i.e.: failed disk, cache, logical, etc etc).
I do see the rest of the baseboard hardware sensors, but nothing for the SA...
any ideas?

Hello,
isn't bundle mentioned above already included in HP ESXi iso image (latest from Dec2010)?

Per OP: "i don't have the HP one since it wasn't bought with this"

I asked becouse we have newly installed BL465cG7 WITH hp image and have the same problem, simply no storage monitoring.

ah thanks, i found and downloaded the previous version (1.0 flat, the july one), now i have to do some tweaking to actually make it work as i've heard the update by itself generates PSODs
