Thank you very much for answering. At least I know now that this seems to be normal system behavior and it's not because of my setup, configuration or whatever.
I would still like to hear more experiences regarding the detection of harddisk failure.

Best thing you can do is probably respond to an snmp trap or alert and power off outlet at the PDU...
I've contacted open-e concerning this and they agree that harddisks are not monitored yet. They said though that they are working on this and harddisk monitoring will probably be included in the new open-e release coming in September.
