hardware monitoring

Hi,

is there any way of monitoring hardware nodes? We recently had one of our PSU fail in our dell poweredge r510, I only noticed it as I was in the serve room.

cheers

Hi there.

One solution could be:

Since you are using dell servers then I would go for using it assist essential if you don't already have it. This will generate an alarm which can be send on email / SMS / trap what ever you have. If you are running windows it will log to the event log also the "system administrator managed node" and PCM can then check for events from the system administror software and send a notification. If running Linux the it assistant essential can also run commands/scripts that could trigger a notification to PCM.
