It must have happened very recently, because my colleague and I visited deadcat yesterday looking for scripts to monitor a Compellent SAN. The reason is probably that Quest have no interest whatsoever in Big Brother. As for the SAN, the only way to monitor Compellent is to use SMI-S and there are no scripts for that for Big Brother, Hobbit, Nagios or anything else. Nobody seems to be using SMI-S for that purpose.

Looks like they've replaced it with a forum. The files still appear to be there. Malcolm -- BBWin Development - The Windows client for Big Brother and Xymon http://bbwin.sourceforge.net http://xymon.sourceforge.net

We have IBM SANs, the only way to monitor them is to run their storage management software on a separate system which then provides SNMP and email alerting. Nothing on the SANs themselves. cheers, Phil

What 'IBM SAN' do you have? I monitor them remotely (ssh and snmp) or with SMcli on the xymon server. Stef

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. Ulric
