Possibilities of monitoring hard disk status

[Manjit Grewal]

Hello,

what possibilities do I have with IM 7 SP 2 to monitor the hard disks, e.g. checking if a part of the disk is damaged, not just monitoring the data usage on the disk. What else is monitored and how?

Manjit -

The Storage Agents does the monitoring for you. They will send out an SNMP trap to your IM7 server if a disk is going bad or is in a bad state. You can also retrieve disk status information from the web interface on the local machine by typing http://machinename:2301.

This can get a bit more complex with SAN based storage, but again it is achievable.

What do you think is missing?

I think I have the same problem.
I would to see color red in a server only if one of the array hard disk failure.
At this moment I'm working about this problem.
