For our X4100/X4200s, we are using IPMI for management functions (reboot, 
reset etc.), but the ILOM supports SNMP as well, so I was going to rather do 
templates for devmon. IPMI seems quite a bit slower than SNMP ...

SNMP may not be enabled by default (while IPMI is), you have to enable it 
either in the web interface or the command-line interface.
