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 .. <http://www.consol.com/opensource/nagios/check-hpasm/?cHash=d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e> 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, Barry
