monitor hardware at OS level
we have SuSe Linux servers installed on HP hardware and connected to eva4400 through fibre.
The hardware consists of Itanium and Intel Xeon Systems.
I am not too sure what HP software is installed in it apart from HPDP's Disk agent and Oracle agent.
I would like to know if there is any way I can monitor the underlying hardware at OS level.
whether the RAID disks are functioning fine etc.
When I look at the rack, i see that once amber light is flickering on one of the Itanium servers. I have no clue as to what its about.
How can I get to know about this.

Re: monitor hardware at OS level
Get HP SIM agents installed.
It's free, it should be able to monitor all your HP Ecosystems -- from your EVA 4400 to your Intehrity and Proliant systems.

Re: monitor hardware at OS level
But what HW montiroing are you looking for? If I am not mistaken, the Itanium machine's GSP via its iLO should have some monitoring built in -- that you can even route via SNMP or smtp.

Re: monitor hardware at OS level
If you did and follwed the HP recipe for installing Suse - then you likely should have installed some "Essentials" fostware on it that should include monitoring tools and even HP SMH (or system management home page) -- which should give you diagnostics. Otherwise - try logging into the server's GSP/iLO card - if you were given access to it.
HP System Management Home page you can download and install from http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/agents/index.html . Hopefully it will also install or bundle disganostics.
