Last night at work our use of OMSA and Nagios paid off (it often does). Three crucial production servers showed up in monitoring with degraded RAID5 arrays. It appears all three servers had 1 out of 3 drives in state “foreign”! I was able to quickly log in and bring the foreign disks online. Without Nagios and OMSA we would have never known and the servers would have lived on with zero redundancy until their inevitable failure. Some people may not know about Open manage so I thought I would write a quick blurb.
