We had a Dell Optiplex workstation running as a Zabbix server (Fedora linux and mysql) on a site monitoring 6 servers and 7 workstations plus a handful of network switches etc. We had a similar workstation set up in our test lab.
The HDD in the machine on site "died" (i.e machine would not boot - Error auto-sensing secondary master hard disk drive…) so we took the one from our lab machine to site to install as a quick fix, but when it was installed it was also found to be "dead" (i.e machine would not boot - Error auto-sensing secondary master hard disk drive…) although it had been working fine when removed from the workstation in the lab. We bought an off the shelf HDD from the local big box electronics store and installed it in the workstation and it worked fine...
Has anyone else experienced similar HDD failure rates with Zabbix or is this more a case of trying to do an Enterprise mission with home office hardware...?
(FYI we have now replaced the workstation on site with a server containing 2 RAID mirrored HDD's to prevent against future loss of service...
