Server & Application Monitor (SAM)

Feature Requests Hardware Health for Server Blade Chassis

Implemented

over 4 years ago

Hardware Health for Server Blade Chassis

Server hardware health monitoring in SAM 5.0 was a great addition, but for blade servers we need some visibility into the status of fans, power supplies, and temperature probes of the chassis itself. A hardware component failure at the chassis level can spell disaster for all blade servers running inside of it. SAM should expand server hardware health monitoring to include support for common blade chassis these blade servers reside in.

For Example:

HP Blade System c7000
Dell PowerEdge M1000e

We should allow ballot stuffing for things this important!

I tried using that tool, but it does not work. I get the following error:
Could not load file or assembly 'System.Core, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKey Token=b77a5c561934e089' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."
I will use a different SNMP utility and paste those results along with the IBM MIBs.

SAM 6.0 (Currently in beta) does not include support for IBM Blade Centers. If you have MIB walks taken from these devices using this tool, please post them here. If you prefer to email those MIB walks you will also find my email address in that thread.

Hello ">aLTeReGo

As I understand, we must wait for the next release to be able to monitor a IBM Chassis Blade Center H??
I have a mib file provided By IBM, so how could we do to monitor the chassis using SAM??

SAM 5.5 did not include support for IBM Blade Chassis. Only HP C3000, C7000, and Dell M1000e blade chassis are supported by SAMs Hardware Health Monitoring as of the 5.5 release.

aLTeReGo,
So we are now able to monitor H series blade chassis for hardware? Does it see through the Chassis and collect hardware health for each respective blade as well?
