I have CentOS as well as RHEL on many HP servers, although none of them are
blades.  I do not use Nagios, but I just saw a plugin for nagios that monitors
HP's hpasm today ..

I have not been able to get disk threshold reporting to work in current versions
of hpasm but besides that, no complaints.  I have RHEL 2.1/3/4 and CentOS 4
running on HP hardware with no issues.

HTH,
