Func has some modules in it for monitoring smart remotely, so there are 
some clever things you can do about generating a report of any failed 
drives throughout your site.

IMHO, it's much better than running any of the heavy management daemons, 
anyway. Calling the custom tools work too (in fact, you could write
a quick func module for mega cli/whatever). You can also invoke nagios 
probes remotely, on all servers matching certain wildcards, etc.

You could also do some stuff to remotely check hardware info (via 
smolt/hal) to determine what types of commands you need to run where.

Anyhow, if anyone is looking for a secure multi-system 
scripting/reporting framework, that may be useful.
