Drive Availability Reporting

[user8932]

Hi I am seeking a service or plugin that shows only if a drive is currently on/available/working for windows servers (2008).

I cannot use the common disk plug-ins because they go into warning and critical mode when drive usage limits are reached; then if i use an availability report generator for disk services it shows less than 100% which is not what I need for SLA reporting.

Thanks.

Is the hard drive connected to a raid/otherwise special disk controller?

yes we use:
EVA 8000(hsv300) EVA4400(hsv210)
IBM DS 8000
HDS VSP

However we are looking at a way to get the data through windows for the moment unless an elegant solution exists for the above.

This is possible through wmi. Try the following to make sure:

Code: Select all

 Start>Run>cmd {ENTER}
wmic {ENTER}
diskdrive get status {ENTER}

See the following document for wmi implementation instructions:
