Powershell script to check HP Smart Array RAID status on Windows

Because the Hpacucli takes long time to execute, when you call it for each drive thats become conflicting while adding drives to enclosure.
I don't find a script thats pleased me so i developped it.

All can use, copy, redistribute, modify and improve it.
But please, respect the 'AUTHOR' & 'VERSION' lines (append your's to the list, mandatory).


Checks :
- Physical drives status
- Logical drives status
- Compatible with multiple Arrays

Future improvements (all suggestions and dev. are welcome) :
- Compatibility with multiple HP Smart Array controllers
- Properly handle NRPE's 1024b limitation in return packet
- Some other ...

NSClient++ config :
- Copy check_smartarray.ps1 to NSCLient++ scripts folder
- Set Powershell execution policy to 'Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted'
- Append to NSC.ini : 'check_raid=cmd /c echo scripts/check_smartarray.ps1; exit $LastExitCode | powershell.exe -Command -'
- Restart NSClient++ service

Nagios config example with nrpe-check :
define service {
use critical-service
host_name MyWindowsServer
service_description RAID Status
check_command check_nrpe!check_raid
}

define command {
command_name check_raid
command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 30 -c check_raid
}
