 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.

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.

 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.
