Can't find OIDs for physical drives - DL380 G4
We have a lot of DL380 G4's running Server 2003. We've recently installed PRTG and I want to have it monitor the state of our physical hard drives via SNMP. I'm very new to SNMP and so I'm missing something here. When I download the MIB files (I've tried quite a few now) that are supposed to have the OID's for this server, I get quite a few OID's for many devices, but nothing specific for the DL380's physical drives. I've looked through all of the MIB's with a MIB browser and don't see any OID's clearly identified that would signal a drive failure.
Interestingly, I have run Paessler's SNMP tester against a test server and found no mention at all of the drive slots or anything related. If I yank out a drive, then re-run it, a new OID that identifies the drive failure is created and incremented with a number at the end that if I try this again, increments one number each time. Those OID's are informational only and don't appear until I have an "event" like a failure.
I've been working on this for a few days and I'm very frustrated and have come to beleive that I'm doing something wrong - I just don't know what. I have Dell servers that I can go right to Dell, download a MIB file specific for their service tag, then browse it and there are OID's clearly labeled throughout. I plug them into PRTG and they just work. Finding OIDs that will tell me when my DL380 has lost a drive has been a frustrating pursuit and I don't know where to look?
If I google this, I see zillions of references to just downloading the MIB file, but the MIB files that I find on HP's site are not very specific and are missing lots of OIDs.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Many thanks,
Mark
