How to Monitor an Adaptec/Intel ICH10R RAID Controller (any SNMP notification options?)

actually intel storage matrix software would be your best bet....

but you would need to first go into the BIOS and change your controller from RAID>ADAPTEC to RAID>INTEL (this will brick your current install of server08, yes that means a fresh install)

some open source software has a hard time installing on the intel fake raid so supermicro (and a few others) have made agreements with adaptec use their raid bios.

little late, I know. but i try to post answers when i pull threads from google (I'm actually looking for something completely different)

Just some ideas:

You could try this software if the drives support SMART: http://www.panterasoft.com/ (see HDD monitor)

You could also get the Intel Storage Matrix Manager = http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=17882&keyword=ich10r+console&lang=eng

I haven't used it for email notifications but I believe it and the RST console have that email option.

Or like Mike said, since the Storage Matrix manager fires off events to the eventvwr, you could use the feature in 08 R2 to grab those events and forward them via email or since you use OpenNMS you can grab the events http://www.opennms.org/wiki/Windows_Event_Log_Traps.
