We need to download VMware SMIS Provider, go to LSI web site and download it.
Other useful tool is MegaClI, go to the same link and download MegaCLI 5.5 P1 .Copy files to remote server.

scp vmware-esx-provider-lsiprovider.vib [email protected]:/vmfs/volumes/machines/ISO

scp vmware-esx-MegaCli-8.07.07.vib [email protected]:/vmfs/volumes/machines/ISO

Installation process

esxcli software vib install --no-sig-check -v /vmfs/volumes/machines/ISO/vmware-esx-provider-lsiprovider.vib
esxcli software vib install --no-sig-check -v /vmfs/volumes/machines/ISO/vmware-esx-MegaCli-8.07.07.vib

Shutdown all virtual machines and reboot the esxi host, it will need about 30 minutes to update the storage information and the hard drives will appear in the healt status.
LSI SMC1078

how to monitor Xerox Phaser 7400DN printer with icinga

With this useful plugin you can monitor easily your network printer.Download and move it to directory with the other plugins.In my case the directory is /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/.Make sure the snmp is configured on the printer side.Now, lets’ test the plugin root@icinga:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins# ./check_snmp_printer -H 192.168.0.75 -x "MODEL"
"Xerox Phaser 7400DN;PS4.2.0,Net25.72.10.07,Eng0.11.2,OS6.26", Serial # XXXXXXXXX

Now, we have to define host, check_command and services for our new object.
