monitor hardware for failure on hp proliant servers.
I currently have 2 compaq systems: 1 running rhel3 hp proliant ml350 and the other debian3.0r2. proliant ml 330. I have been unable to find a consistent listing of where I can get the software to do, disk and various hardware monitoring on the system. I am planning to purchase a rackmount, DL360G3 6 cluster system, running debian 3.0r2. What hardware monitoring tools are available: I've only see this so far: http://starbreeze.knoware.nl/~spark/compaq/ I need something to monitor both systems similar to smartmontools, and tell me if a disk fails. Smartmontools won't work on the megaide raid system on the ml330. What do you use for hardware monitoring for your hp proliant systems?

Most of them cost more than the average ISP spends on a server, however -- because they're NEBS rated, UL listed, yadda yadda yadda, and dipped in solid gold (a joke about the price), and sold to companies with wads of cash. But they've been available for a lng time. Decades, really. Nate

Re: Remote server management
Dear all, we have done trials with the Peppercon ROL-F card, which offers a remote hardware reset. This is a Realtec based 10/100 Ethernet card at about EUR 70 that you use as a usual network card. You wire the Reset button cable to the card, and from the card to the Motherboard. After enabling the feature once, you can send a magic MAC layer packet to it (no need to configure an IP address, you simply use the MAC address) and it performs a hardware reset. This, together with a serial cable routed towards a terminal server, should allow us to remotely manage our machines. Regards, Sebastian Wangnick -- Dipl.-Inform.

Although our user base is quite small (~300) it's supposed to work perfectly for ten-thousands of Users. Another cool thing - which we don't yet use - is the mail-partition feature which alows you to spread the Users mailboxes over differnt file-systems. We decided to use Cyrus because it brings IMAP and POP3 support in one 'package' and it perfectly supports TLS/SSL secured connections. Hope that is usefull.
