[Novalug] Nagios & IBM RSA II and new IBM servers

[Nick Danger]

I have some new servers with the IBM RSA II cards. REALLY nice cards, Im 
very impressed. Problem is I cant think of a way to monitor these 
servers with Nagios and watch the hardware itself.  The servers are (I 
think?) 3550 models. Their basic 1U with two hot swap drives in a RAID 1 
config. I have to find the tool to watch the raid set for failed drives 
still, but I was hoping there was also a way I can watch for stuff like 
power supply failure (dual PSs) RAM failures, etc.  I can watch the 
errors on the RSA II card, and configure SNMP traps via the card, but I 
was hoping for some command line tool to watch the HW status via a 
shell, then just do monitor over SSH with Nagios like I do for most 
everything else :-)  Otherwise I'll have to go back to the SNMP monitor 
via Nagios, which works but I dont think is very elegant.

Anyone else working with one of these servers? Are you monitoring it?
