Dell Storage Array monitoring?

So I've searched around and not come up with anything. Is anyone using SMcli to get the status of a Dell storage array? Ours is an MD 3200i. I would like to not reinvent the wheel, and I've got to imagine this stuff is popular.

I don't have anything to contribute, but I'm interested as we have one
coming on the network soon.

I am monitoring MD-3000s with SMcli.

I have not had tim eot do it correctly. I currently have it dump 
everything and count the optimals. If it matches the expected number I 
give green otherwise red. I then send the full dump as text so that I can 
look over it.

The basic gist is:

CMD='/opt/dell/mdstoragemanager/client/SMcli'
CONT1='ip address'
${CMD} ${CONT1} -c 'show storagearray profile;' -o ${FILE1} >/dev/null
c1opt=$(grep Optimal ${FILE1} | wc -l)
c1on=$(grep Online ${FILE1} | wc -l)

Then compare c1opt and c1on to expected values.

We have a few we'd like to see monitored in Xymon. I swear I found a
perl script once that parses the output of SMCli, but can't remember
where I found it.

I suspect this is the script you mean:

Thanks Isaac. I've adapted this one somewhat for use with Xymon
(didn't take much). I'm going to do some more testing on it and then
share it.
