@john-c I have access to configure myself as an email recipient however, I don’t recall the reason I never did that. There is some complication with doing so. If I recall it needs a hack to configure an email server. I will investigate.
I have also been looking into something like nagios or zabbix. But then that’s something extra required. I would prefer a simple solution that doesn’t require a lot of effort and hacking.
@KPS I have storcli running already. Needed it to setup the raid. I've been using it on esxi to manage the array when a drive needs replacing. I'll have to try out the ipmi stuff. I tried detect sensor and it didn't find anything on the ipmi but it did find ipmi.
While I can manually check with storcli is there a way to automate the check and email issues?
@olivierlambert What I'm hoping for it to get an email if there is a hardware failure. Mostly on the raid array, power supplies, fans, ecc errors, temperature and other stuff would be nice as well.
I have some older Intel R2224gz models with the s1600gz board. I'll looking at getting some HP gen 9 stuff as well.
I'm looking at switching from ESXi. As far as I can tell there is no hardware health monitoring in XCP-ng/XO. I'm hoping that I'm just not finding it. How is this handled? This is a requirement for switching.
In ESXi I get notifications when a hard drive in a raid array or other fails, fan failures, power supply failures etc. I don't feel comfortable switching without these features. How is everybody handling this?
The only thing I found was coming in 8.3 for raid arrays. But I don't see anything else.
