Re: VmWare ESX 3i

Hey Edzar,
You are unfortunately correct. You can't monitor disk/storage controllers currently on HP servers with 3i. This is the main thing that has kept us from deploying 3i.
HP is definitely the place to complain as other servers (Dell) CAN monitor disk with 3i. VMware has provided the framwork for monitoring it, but HP has yet to add this functionality.

Re: VmWare ESX 3i

We received this response from a Dutch HP Server Support Response Engineer:

"The disk related information which customer is looking for in sim is not present at the moment.
Next release of HP CIM/WBEM providers for ESXi 3.x including NIC and Storage management (to monitor NIC and Disk Failures) due early next year."

So, we will have to wait.....

Re: VmWare ESX 3i

In the last post it said there should be disk agents by a years time. It is now a year later any update on this. I just installed ESX 3i on a bunch of servers and am trying to setup SIM to monitor them but nothing disk related is coming through.
