Hi,
Is it possible to send emails when there is a RAID in Esxi without using vCenter?
I have a single Esxi server and I'm trying to monitor it somehow.
What brand and model of server is it? Our newer Dell PowerEdge servers iDRAC cards have very good alerting via email and snmp for everything hardware related, including storage events.
Our older Dell Poweredge servers had a client vib installed to a standalone ESXi host that talked to our OpenManage Essentials box which took care of the alerting.
Maybe your server has something comparable that can handle alerting in place of VCenter?

The brand is Supermicro. Unfortunately the IPMI doesn't seem to have any type of monitoring for RAID cards.
Depends on which raid-controller you have. For all LSI/Avago models (incl. those re-branded) you can use command-line tool StorCLI or older MegaCLI (you can find vib/offline-bundle on lsi/avago web). All you need is cron to periodically check raid-arrays and a little shell-scripting...
