Q: 2009 Xserve - Run hwmond from OS X 10.7 Server on OS X 10.11 Server

2009 Xserve has CPU activity lights across the front, with OS X 10.7 Server installed these lights function. With OS X 10.11 El Capitan they don't.

The process responsible is hwmond from /usr/sbin.

Taking that from 10.7 (as described in Xserve CPU Status LED's under Mountain Lion) and executing it in 10.11 gives me this.

server2:~ Admin$ /Volumes/SSD\ Storage/usr/sbin/hwmonddyld:

Library not loaded: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreRAID.framework/Versions/A/CoreRAID

Referenced from: /Volumes/SSD Storage/usr/sbin/hwmond Reason: no suitable image found.

Did find: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreRAID.framework/Versions/A/CoreRAID: mach-o, but wrong architecture

Trace/BPT trap: 5

Can I make this work in OS X 10.11 El Capitan?

Xserve, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5), null

    Snow Leopard Server 10.6.8 was the last version of Apple's software that had full and proper monitoring of an Xserve via the included Server Monitor software. Ever since then Apple's server software has been extremely limited with no monitoring capability because Apple had discontinued the Xserve and no others Mac have similar features.

     

    The nearest I feel your going to get is to either use SoftRaid which has its own monitoring and reporting capability or there is a discontinued third-party tool which you could try called RaidEye. See http://www.hanynet.com/raideye/

     

    A final option might be to use the 'lights out' feature of Xserves.
