Do DELL DRAC and HP iLO monitor HDD?

PiotrIr

Does somebody know if DRAC and HP iLO cards shows me HDD from RAID failure? I wasn’t able to find anything about this in spec.

Many thanks

IIRC DRACs show you each HDD and whether its failed or good.

PiotrIr

Many thanks for your reply.

Probably it is stupid question but forgive me ignorance.

What is IIRC, were to find it, maybe link for documentation? I always used web interface to connect to DRAC and wasn't able to find any HDD monitoring option.

Once again many thanks.

oh IIRC jsut means "if i remember correctly".

We use DRAC 5's on our 2950's at work and im pretty sure they show the HDD status, but i cant remember 100%.

I tried to find it using exactly the same model of server and DRAC and wasn’t able. It shows status of everything but not RAID and hard drives. I can only suspect that it will show an error in Event Log, but would like to confirm.

Kind Regards
