We have IBM SANs, the only way to monitor them is to run their storage

 Using the management software as a proxy to get the information would  have been fine, but the response we got from Compellent/Dell was  basically that it is impossible to do what we want and that they have no  suggestions.

 Which is a shame because it is a nice SAN otherwise, but we can't rely  on unmonitorable equipment.
