I believe that the way to handle this is by SNMP, and that the HP

Is the RAID array done in hardware?
Yes, it's a Proliant 6500.
If it is, then maybe there is something you can set in the RAID BIOS to enable SNMP monitoring?
I've never seen anything like that. According to page 12 of the HOWTO <http://tinyurl.com/7h8dr> the `cmaidad` agent collects data from cciss/cpqarray drivers, so surely that hadles everything for me? `cmaidad` is running, and I believe my SCSI array is of the cciss type.
What does lspci show? (Emerge pciutils if you dont have lspci).

Does anyone have a simple configuration, please, to log everything from
the HP agents to a the snmptrapd log - I think that once I understand
how to do that, shifting notifications to email should be pretty easy,
but at the moment I don't really have a clue what an SNMP "community"
is.
A community string is basically like a password - you set it on the
service being monitored so SNMP software with the string can connect and
query...
Right.... so my agents configuration is like this:
$ sudo cat /etc/hpasmrc
# install mode
export CMASILENT="YES"
# kernel version
export CMAKERNELVERSION="2.6.11-gentoo-r4"
#local rw community string
export CMALOCALHOSTRWCOMMSTR="proliant"
#local ro community string
export CMALOCALHOSTROCOMMSTR=""
#rw authorized management stations (multiples allowed)
export CMAMGMTSTATIONRWIPORDNS="127.0.0.1"
#rw authorized mangamane station community string (multiplies allowed)
export CMAMGMTSTATIONRWCOMMSTR="proliant"
...How do I get `snmptrapd` to query this community? Is that the right thing to do?
Thanks for your help,
Stroller.
