At the end of the day, I found that I could just compile the appropriate mibs from HP/Compaq and Dell and then pick out what I wanted to monitor.
Getting the latest mibs for the Dell stuff required me to download the latest openmanage update from dell (192MB) just to get the right 560K mib file. If you download just the mib from Dell, you get one that is several revs older. The mibs on the somix site were ancient (sorry guys, it's the truth). If you're interested in having me send you the latest mibs (that I can get anyway) for either or both platforms, give me a shout. With that said, picking out what I wanted to monitor and in what context took a few hours and some trial and error. The Dell mibs were a little bit easier to walk through than the compaq mibs. I would suggest using WUG to do basic alerts of global issues and then drilling down into the boxes with the appropriate management platforms to get the details. I am still having an issue where one of my Dell boxes works fine with OpenManage, but I cannot read some (but I can read some of it) of the information from WUG. The kicker is that it works fine on other Dell boxes. Dan . . .

I am interested in monitoring for things like power supply, disk failures, overtemps, etc with WUG without actually loading CIM on the monitoring workstation. I understand that I would have to load the CIM SNMP agent on the compaq boxes themselves. I am also interested in doing this with Dell Servers running their SNMP agent. Any advice would be appreciated.
