And below is an example of an alert which comes through OEM if the cell plugin has been installed and configured From: Exadata cell [mailto:celladmin@cel02] Sent: Saturday, 27 November 2010 2:12 PM To: Rego, Fairlie Subject: CELL dm02cel02: Hardware Alert: critical Hardware Alert 6 is triggered at 2010-11-27T14:12:27+11:00 with message: Cellsrv detected poor performance for celldisk FD_08_cel02, flashdisk 5080020000c79c4FMOD0, Slot Num: PCI Slot: 4; FDOM: 0. Reason for poor performance: high threshold for service time triggered. Data from this celldisk is being proactively dropped and any flashcache on it is disabled. CELL name: cel02, System serial number: 1015XFG058 The suggested action is: The flash disk at PCI Slot: 4; FDOM: 0 should be replaced at the earliest opportunity. If all 4 flash disks on the same card have failed due to poor performance, the flash card may need to be replaced.

Even the tools (under /opt/oracle.SupportTools) use the cellcli , so I guess it not recorded in /var/log/messages.
