I used to use OMSA a couple versions ago, but didn't like how much processing and memory it used.
It look me about half a day of tinkering around to get Nagios set up and monitoring a 2950, 1950, two 2950s, two 2650s, and a 2550 - including RAID status of PERC5, 4, and 3 on those systems. Once the initial install is done, it's easy (as in less than 5 mins setup) to monitor additional systems. I posted notes here: http://stevejenkins.com/blog/2009/12/helpful-links-for-setting-up-nagios -and-nrpe-on-rhel-5-and-centos-5/ The good news is that with Nagios, there's a good chance someone else has done all the hard work for me already, and I just have to Google till I find a script that does exactly what I want!

I wonder if anyone's ever done any serious security testing of that software. I'm not too thrilled about what I've found poking at other Dell software/firmware bits and pieces. _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
