Yes, update to vSphere vCenter
I have done something similar as I was tired of searching for dead paths... I made a simple script wich was launched as a cron job.. The script sends snmp trap with a selected OID to a HP insight manger server with the message:
"FC host HBA status changed"
As you see the script is VERY simple...
#!/bin/bash
dpath= esxcfg-mpath -l | grep -i -o "dead" > /dev/null
if ; then
snmptrap -v 1 -c public <IP SNMP monitor server> 1.3.6.1.4.1.232 localhost 6 16015 0
fi
exit 0
Maybe that will give further ideas...
