Hi guys...

Im in charge of monitoring lots of servers, all Dell and a few weeks back someone else noticed that one of our servers was having problems with one of the disks.

I've logged in to OMSA and the RAID status was degraded because one of the drives was failing.

I've noticed that this information was worth to monitor (we didn't noticed earlier hahaha).

I've been surfing trough root\cimv2\Dell and i couldn't find the namespace that holds the virtual disks information that IS showing on OMSA.

The only "similar" thing that i've found was Dell_EsmLog but it's not the same at all.

The one server that i'm testing this using server 2008 r2 and OMSA 7.4

The guys from Dell told me to try Open Manage Essentials. It's good but requieres to create a machine on every site and that costs money (to buy the hardware) and we already have a monitoring system that can reach all sites with no problem but it uses WMI.

Please help since the guys a dell support couldn't help me.

Regards.

Francisco.
