DL160 Raid hard drive monitor

[warmstr]

I have 2 hard drives set up in a raid 1 config. When one fails, windows server just keeps on running as it should. I need to know when one of the hard drives fail however. Is there an HP software to monitor the hard drives and email me when one fails?

yes there is a windows event notificator, there is HP SIM to monitor, you can use any SNMP based monitoring tool, you can use HP insight remote support to ...automatically open HP cases when failure occurs...

provide more details regarding which dl160 and windows OS u are running.

regards,

JQ

Thanks for the reply. I was reading about SIM last night. I think that is the way to go. Thanks again.
