How does Sun StorAde compare with nagios?

[Dan Stromberg]

Is there anyone on the list who can compare the functionality of Sun
StorAde with nagios?

I have a Sun StorEdge 3511 with a Sun V440 in front of it as a NAS head,
and it's got a bunch of research data that is -not- backed up (I have no
control over this, and have gone on record saying I'd prefer it to be
backed up).

Anyway, I'm looking for a good way to monitor the 3511 and the V440 for
problems, so we don't, say, lose one controller, not realize it, and then
lose another.

It couldn't be hard to rig some sort of nagios plugin that would check for
status changes, and it wouldn't be hard to make sure that the controllers,
disks and power supplies are yielding good values in sccli, but I want to
be very sure I haven't left out some important component that I'm not
aware of that should also be monitored.

So in that light, I'll repeat/rephrase the question: It seems the Sun
StorAde knows all the right things to monitor on this hardware - is there
something for nagios that -also- knows?

PS: I've been googling around, and I'm not really finding much about what
StorAde really does.  :(  Lately, googling for info about a device or
proudct seems to give a million links to places to buy that device or
product, and precious little about the inner workings of the device.  :(

Thanks!
