Hello,
Per: http://thwack.solarwinds.com/thread/51046
"Sean is correct. Unfortunately Dell does not as yet populate storage related hardware health status information via WMI. It's something they're waiting on customer demand before pursuing. As soon as Dell populates this information via WMI we'll consider implementing it as part of SAM. In the meantime I suggest contacting Dell Support, or posting in the Dell Forums that you'd like to see Storage information populated via WMI, similar to how it's made available via SNMP."
Since a lot of the new features do require the node to be managed via WMI. have we fixed the Dell storage information problem?Has there been any updates from Dell?
Is there a work around that anyone knows about?
You wouldn't want everyone to switch to WMI, a month later have all of their hard drives fail on their servers and you guys get blamed for it.
If the issue has not been fixed, you might want to let people know if they switch to WMI that they will not be able to monitor HARD DRIVE and RAID Controller Information.
