Serveraid Agent on ESX 4

Hi

Does someone know if it is possible to monitor the condition of the discs on a serveraid controller ? IBM has a Serveraid Agent which is compatible to ESX 3.5, but will that also work on ESX 4 (update 1) ?

Or is there another possibility to monitor the condition of discs in a IBM xSeries server?

The Hardware Status in the vCenter does not show the Disc information....

Meaning when a disc has a error and needs to be replaced, we can only see that staying in front of the server and that is not very usefull.....

Kind regards,

Steffan

You can use the agent.

Or check if some information could be available with IPMI.
