Hello everyone, I'm currently trying to build something to monitor a bunch of HP servers remotely through IPMI. Now I've managed to use the freeipmi and ipmitool binaries to get just about any information I need from our machines: some-tool -D LAN_2_0 -u USER -P -h hostname
This works wonderfully well, except for one thing, I can't get any information about the Smart Array Controller and the disks connected to it. I've called HP Business Support and their answer was 'Yeah if you get rid of the Smart Array Controller it would probably work because you'd be able to read the SATA ports'. I've also posted on the HP discussions board about this but I'm doubtful I'll get anything useful, http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/ProLiant-Servers-ML-DL-SL/iLO-IPMI-and-Smart-Array-controller/m-p/5830105. Ditching the Smart Array Controller is not an option for us but I can't really imagine that not even a single engineer at HP thought 'oh wait, it might be useful to expose disk and array status through IPMI'. I was wondering if anyone has ever managed to get status info of the HP Smart Array Controller and the disks behind it over IPMI and if so, how? If not, is there some dark path I can go down to try and figure out if the information is actually available through some kind of vendor specific extension that the tools just don't expose yet?
