Extra Info:
you will need to install hpacucli
eg. get latest .deb packages:

wget http://downloads.linux.hp.com/SDR/downloads/ProLiantSupportPack/Debian/pool/non-free/hpacucli_8.70-8.0.2-2_amd64.deb
Now install it eg.
dpkg -i hpacucli_8.70-8.0.2-2_amd64.deb

now install the Ngaios::Plugin perl module and sudo if not already there

Edit sudoers and add
nagios ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/hpacucli

On 3.0.0+ Kernels
At the time of writing hpacucli did not like running on 3+ kernels. To fool it into thinking its on a 2.6 box. Get the uname26.c http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=uname26&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCMQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmirror.linux.org.au%2Flinux%2Fkernel%2Fpeople%2Fak%2Funame26%2F&ei=T9tYT6bdFNTs8QPPmt2CDw&usg=AFQjCNEUFfIIld04uDhOyijJolGxnQSPiA

compile uname26 and put in /usr/local/bin and check it works
gcc -o uname26 uname26.c
mv uname26 /usr/local/bin
uname26 uname -a
the last command should have returned as if it was a 26 kernel.

If hpacucli doesn't work still then have fun debugging
we found on some servers to get hpacucli to work we needed to load an extra driver.
on signal needed to load the sg modules -> its a generic SCSI driver
modprobe sg
