How to monitor HPE Broadcom MegaRAID Controller trough ILO?

Troubleshooting
1

CMK version: 2.1.0p29
OS version: ILO 2.91

Hi,

i have an HP DL325 Gen10 Plus v2 with an MR416i-a Gen10+ RAID controller and try to monitor the status of the disks, controller and logical volume trough ilo and snmp.
With the smartraid controllers i had never problems, but now the services not showing up in WATO.

Can anybody help?

The question here is - do you see the raid controller inside your iLO in the health status pages?

Today i got a litle deeper into and saw that the OID “1.3.6.1.4.1.232.3.2.3.1.1” not exists. Then i found this thread in the hpe community forum: Solved: Monitoring Drive State using SNMP on iLO5 DL365 Ge... - Hewlett Packard Enterprise Community

The controller not providing data over snmp at the moment :frowning: .

I also tried the ILO API plugin, but there it is the same problem, no data from the raid controller…
Why nobody else have this problem?

Problem “solved”. I wrote my own special agent based on the plugin " HPE iLO Restful API Checks".
But its very painfull. I have one ProLiant DL380 Gen10 Plus and one ProLiant DL325 Gen10 Plus v2 with same ILO version, but the api URLs are partially different. WTF HP!? This is pretty trash!
Older Firmware versions seems to have different URLs too, so you must test and change the script for every system.

If it is ok for you. Can you please test with the actual generic Redfish agent Check_MK-Things/check plugins 2.2/redfish at master · Yogibaer75/Check_MK-Things · GitHub
if there you get some output for the controllers.
The existing HPE iLO Restful API checks i want to migrate completely to the generic agent.

I found one problem more with the current Redfish or classic HPE API checks.
It tests only for SmartArray controllers and not for others.
If you want to do the checks later with an unmodified version we should speak about some agent output from your system that i can implement it correctly.

I will test this next week and give you feedback.

Hello,

do you have any news regarding this problem? We are facing exactly the same issue with our RAID-Controllers.

Thanks

Do you checked the current redfish special agent version?
If it is not working with your controller i would need an agent output from the system.
