Critical Alert

[SUSE LINUX 9]

I want to configure Insight Manager to capture a disk failure on a managed Proliant Server. How would I simulate a disk failure on the managed server? It is RAID 5.

Pull out a disk would do more than simulate an alert. And the array should cope. But I don't know of a means of simulating that.

Your name suggests you may be running on SUSE, on Windows there's an HP Management Agents GUI that has a send trap feature. This generates a trap that creates a Major alert.
Useful if you want to test alerting in general. Not sure if similar functionality is available on Suse.
