Just finished creating this - pulls information from OpenManage related to the status of each disk (Online, Rebuilding, etc) and graphs it. I use thold to create alerts so I know when a disk needs attention - especially helpful for remote sites.

It does have one issue: When creating a graph it doesn't display the entire name of the disk (ex: "Physical Disk 0:0:1" is clipped to "Physical Disk 0"). If anyone has any suggestions as to why this happens (and how to fix it) let me know.

I've tested it with multiple versions of OpenManage (v5.5-7) on a variety of servers (4600, 2900, 2950, R900, R710, 1850) and the only one I haven't been able to pull information from is the 2650.

Remember to add the dell_hdd_status.xml file to the /resource/snmp_queries folder and import the graph template. Created in Cacti 0.8.7c.

Anyone get this working? It wont ever create the graph for me?

@Spoonman : rumdd forgot export the data query

Hy,

I create the data query with suggest graph title and data source name
Modify the Gprint Preset normal to Exact numbers
Modify in dell_hdd_stats.xml <hddname> to <arrayDiskName> (it's the name of the value in Dell Openmanage MIB)
List of all Dell Disk state, extract from the Dell openmanage 7.2 PDF :
