Is SunMC the tool of choice?

Hello, world!

I'd like to hear your oppinon: is SunMC the tool of choice, and if so, what modules do I need?

I'd like to have my Sun server hardware monitored, in addtion to the Solaris monitoring we already have with BMC Patrol.

The tool should tell me about

* partial power loss/power supply failure

* fan defects

* over-temperature-events

* disk failure.

* other possible hardware failures (if there are some left to be monitored)

The marketing sheets for SunMC don't state clearly that this kind of monitoring can be done with SunMC, so I'd like to ask the community: what do you think.

Thank You!

Peter

Yup, SunMC will monitor the things you've listed.You don't need any module; once SunMC is installed the config reader will monitor all hardware related aspects

Hi Peter,

SunMC is definitely what you're looking for... but my opinion is biased because I install a lot of it for many customers :)

You should also consider SunMC->BMC integration. If you're primarily a Patrol shop then you can use SunMC as a black-box just for the Sun hardware errors, and have those errors feed to BMC so you're not stuck looking at a SunMC Console all day. Patrol will treat it as just another supplemental source of alarms, so you can use any existing procedures or notification rules you have set up.
