Health monitor on HP servers - SAMbeta4

Some observations -

I'm missing power supplies status&consumption data on my machines running Windows. There is plenty more data from identical machine running ESX 4.1.

CPU fan status is displayed as "other" I'm pretty sure the fan is OK. ESX machine shows six fans, all OK. It also displays rotation speed in %.

"Service tag" is labeled as "Serial Number" (s/n) on the server's chassis.

    Can you do us a favor to help us out and get us an SNMP walk of this device

    Let me know when you have it and I can email you so you can send it to me offline.

    Beta 4 is the first build to introduce WMI polling. SNMP, and VMWare nodes should show full hardware information. The next SAM beta build should include more comprehensive hardware monitoring for WMI nodes. The fact that you're seeing hardware details for WMI nodes is actually good news and great feedback. Thanks!

      How can one tell how is health data polled? I thought it was SNMP. I do have some WMI application monitors active on the same node, but the node was added as SNMP&ICMP node.

      Would it be possible that the same data for the same server looked differently in beta3? I can't verify this any more, I just had an impression.

    Hello,

    Thank you very much for SNMP walk from your HP server. Here are some comments from my investigation:

    1) PowerSupply - there are two power supply devices but it returns blank value in model column (OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.9.3.1.10), that we use for DisplayName, so we skip them.

    2) CPU fan status (OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.6.5.0) returns 1 on your system. This value will be one of the following:
     other(1) - Fan status detection is not supported by this system or driver. 
     ok(2) - All fans are operating properly. 
     failed(4) - A fan is not operating properly. The system will be shutdown if the failed(4) condition occurs.

    3) Fan speed should be included in cpqHeThermalFanTable (OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.6.2.6.6) but we haven't find any HP server that returns this table - also your SNMP walk doesn't contain this OID - so we don't monitor the fan speed through SNMP on HP servers so far.

    Thank you for your feedback.

     

    Kind Regards,
