Hardware monitoring on IBM xSeries servers

malikperera · 12-06-2007, 10:28 PM

Hi,
I have an IBM xSeries 345 8670-31X server. At the moment installed Ubuntu 7.10 server.
I know lots of people install Linux on IBM xSeries servers. But anybody manage to get hardware monitoring information and alerts.
Such as Temperature, FAN speed or hardware failures.
I’m trying to make this to work so for not successful. If somebody manage to do this please let me know.

Thank you,

Seriously, use IBM Director. We use it to manage all of our IBM servers.

I've tried running alien against the director rpm's but get a lot of errors. Have you got it working on Debian/Ubuntu and if so, how???

Thanks!

Hey,
I was just wondering if anyboy got past the dependecy errors when installing IBM Director(im using 5.20.2) on Ubuntu(im using 8.04.3).
I'd appreciate it very much if you could let me know how you did it.
Im installing it on an xSeries 345 server running ubuntu 8.04.3
