We monitor a SAN this way, and while it works there are some drawbacks, at 
least for us. For our application, the SAN is partitioned into many volumes, 
each mounted by a different server, so to collect the total statistics you have 
to add up all of the volumes from all of the servers. Also, our SAN provides 
virtual storage, so if you add up the storage available for all of the servers, 
the total is far more than the actual storage physically in the SAN. We ended 
up writing scripts that collect the SAN's statistics via command-line to feed 
into Zenoss, which works much better for us.

Subject: [zenoss-users] Monitoring NAS without snmp

Hi,

Has anyone tried monitoring disk capacity on a network attached storagedevice 
without snmp? This device does not present any data on the snmp-protocol, but 
it would be possible to log on to a (samba)-share on it, and get information on 
used bytes / percentage left.
