Is it possible to be alerted as to when a Hard Drive fails?
Most of our servers are set to raid 5.
I am using NPM 9.5 and APM 3.0.0 SP1
Yes you can. I've done it before with Dell and HP servers. You will need to install the respective hardware vendor's software and then create a UnDP to check the logical drive status.
If I remember correctly (it's been some time) the OID is either:
1.3.6.1.4.1.232.3.2.3.1.1.4 - cpqDaLogDrvStatus
or
1.3.6.1.4.1.232.3.2.5.1.1.6 - cpqDaPhyDrvStatus
Hope this helps.
