IBM storage subsystems monitor

[Astergiou]

Hello,

we currently have

2 x IBM v7000
4 x IBM Flash 900
1 x IBM v7200
1 x IBM v5000
4 x IBM SVC

and we would like to monitor all of them with Nagios.

Is it possible?

Hi Astergiou,

Nagios XI is very flexible, so we can likely monitor those devices. However, I think the best angle of attack here is to start with a single device or similar group of devices and work through that before more on to others.

If the device has SNMP capabilities that's a good choice as there are built-in wizards in Nagios XI to help set this up.

See: Using The SNMP Walk Wizard

Otherwise, there a number of community development plugins for IBM Hardware on the Nagios Exchange and that might a good option as well, but it will depend on the specific hardware and your monitoring requirements.
