Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all the input. In reviewing the comments, I believe SNMPv3 is our best bet. As much as I like what Nagios can do, I'm stuck with using NetIQ (it was selected by my employer prior to me hiring on). With this in mind, I'll move forward with the cpqarrayd and SNMP to compliment the existing monitoring already in place.

Thanks again,
Greg

AFAIK the cciss drivers are able to drop kernel messages which should
appear in syslog (at least cpqarray did that on the G1 boxes).

But your best bet would be to install snmp, restrict it to localhost
only (so no snmp network traffic) if your network team requires it and
install the proliant support pack. The newer versions even mail the
traps to you if you want (they even do so if you don't want :)

Regards

I've rebuilt the cpq_cciss rpm, but since we don't use snmp (required by cpqarrayd), I'm having trouble getting this rpm rebuilt without failing net-snmp checks (installing net-snmp doesn't resolve the issue).
