A customer got an older Dell PwoerVault MD32XX storage system.
The system only has the telnet port 23 open on its IP address and is able to send SNMP traps.
The MS Windows management host to configure this storage system has a command line utility called SMcli.exe installed. It looks like one can run commands via that tool (and presumably the telnet port).
Has anyone tried to implement a monitoring integration for these storage systems?
This works for me on a Windows 10 VM with the “Dell Modular Disk Storage Manager Client” installed on it. I placed the script which I called “md3200.ps1” in the folder “C:\ProgramData\checkmk\agent\local”. Locations for other OS’ can be found here: Local checks
My “SMcli.exe” was found at “C:\Program Files\Dell\MD Storage Manager\client\SMcli.exe”, so I edited the script accordingly.
There was one typo in the script… in one place the word “Throughput” is typed as “Troughput”, but that was an easy fix.
