It would be great to be able to monitor hardware health andwarranty status of Fujitsu servers.
Hi.
We have ~500 servers... HP and Dell are perfectly monitored and integrated in Orion using HP Insight Manager and Dell OpenManage, so all hardware, Raid Controller, Disks, Fans, Power Supply are monitored automatically.
We have some Fujitsu Primergy servers with the standard Fujitsu software... they are not "included" in Orion, the only possibility is UDT...
It would be nice a similar integration in Orion

Same here only ALL of my 130 server are Fujitu servers from RX100, 200, 300's and Blade BX600s and BX900's very little information is returned for the hardware either.
its a joke that this still hasn't been implemented, Fujitsu are a major hardware manufacturer and their hardware can't be monitored!!!!!
Fujitsu servers may be regionally popular. To my knowledge though, they aren't very prevalent in the US. This may explain why this feature has not been voted up more than you might expect.
Fujitsu is widely used in Italy and we are Circle Partner for them. Better to include them in the compatibility list.
Thanks

That doesnt suprise me about the usa but they have a huge foot hole here in the UK and across Europe. Maybe
thats why. It used to be Fujitsu Siemens & they arent a big US brand either. However saying that, they are one
of the four hardware providers that intel use for testing all new server technology & processors on. There
support contracts can not be beaten. They have boot drop for hardware support. So if a part is flown in and its
the middle of the night, the part is delivered to the engineer and put in his car boot (trunk) ready for next
day to save waking him to sign for the parts. So yeah, they are a big player and have 18 blade solutions
I wont be renewing my site license next time for SAM if not & use serverview as I have all fujitsu servers
I'm sorry johnuk that you find no value in SAM beyond this feature. We strive with each and every new release of SAM to exceed customers expectations by consistently improving the product and delivering on the ideas the community. To my knowledge, I'm not aware of any solution in the market today that provides the level of comprehensive application and server monitoring that SAM provides, coupled with software/hardware inventory, heath monitoring, and warranty information for Fujitsu servers. If you are aware of one please let me know.
I Think your right, even this older version pre SAM screenshot shows that & Im a few versions out. Working at a major hospital & providing 24/7 support. Its all about turn around time for me. I need the most specific details a system can provide regarding the hardware thats failing so I can either raise a support call, replace the part or migrate the server to somewhere else to avoid having to
cancel clinics, theatre operations, radiology etc. This will show me from a sub menu the mainboard layout and a red indicator showing the part at fault. Based on the type I can automate certain support calls being raised electronicly. Again if I buy a dell or HP box this system wont help
versions behind now
We were told when deciding to purchase solarwinds that this was on the roadmap for future inclusion. It seems to be a very long road . . . .
Yes, I agree. If Fujitsu get the mobile edition released for next April I may not bother with the site license next time and cut it back to just the core servers.
We need Fujitsu Primergy servers to be monitored by SolarWinds as well.
Any new status on this request for upcoming versions?
We have the same need in our installation for Fujitsu server hardware monitoring.
Hi,
A strange thing is that our ESX servers (Fujitsu Primergy RX300 S6) can be monitored via SAM (not all components - memory and disks are greyed out). But when I try this with Windows Servers this isn't working (not able to enable Hardware Health & Status).
We use Fujitsu Hardware World Wide (UAE, Europe, USA, Nordic, ...)
Also for the storage manager --> Fujitsu SAN's
Hi, I guess this is because SAM does supports polling hardware information from the ESX/vCenter API directly.
When you do it to a Windows server you rely on the Fujitsu ServerView agent installed in Windows OS - this one SAM sadly does not support polling.
Hopefully they will fix this as an outcome of this idea/vote.
Can also vouch for this, should be added in...surely for a company of Solarwinds size it shouldn't be too difficult!
We also need this, it will be great to have this information available since Fujitsu is the only brand that is showing blank information for warranty status in our dashboard. When people ask why it is blank and others are showing information then the only comment that goes outside is Solarwinds does not support this at this moment which is true also. Which takes Solarwinds little down even though being the market leader.
You are right aLTeReGo that SAM is the only product in the market that provides this much of information and that's why we have positive hope with Solarwinds to add this in the bucket list.
