How To Get Notified When Hard Drives Fail In Dell PowerEdge Servers

dell-poweredge

I have a Dell PowerEdge R415 and R515 and wondering how I can be alerted remotely when a hard drive fails in either server? Both are running RAID, so I need to be notified, so I can swap out the drive. Both servers only have the basic Baseboard Management Controller. Is this possible with a third party tool/software?

Dell OpenManage software will do this for you. I would imagine it shipped with your server, otherwise you can download it from the Dell website
