Subject: Monitoring disk protection status through e-mail


Hi,

We have a customer that is running an older 9406-170, currently at V5R3.
He doesn't have hardware maintenance, and they're not running any 5250
applications.

They are using parity protection with a 2740.

Now the problem is, how are notifications handled? Since noone ever logs
onto the machine directly (they're just using the ERP software running
on it), and since service agent is not used because they don't have
hardware maintenance, how do i notice that a disk has failed?

In the Windows/Linux world, there are standalone RAID monitoring
applications (like IBM's ServeRAID suite), and of course bigger
monitoring solutions like Nagios or MOM.

I've searched IBMs infocenter high and low, but it seems that I'm using
the wrong keywords, since I wasn't able to find any way to get notified
in case of a non-fatal hardware failure (like losing a fan or hard
disk).

Thanks for your time,

Lukas Beeler
