We use IPMI with a BMC controller to do hardware monitoring for our xenserver hosts. Depending on the type of hardware you have this might be an option.
You might be able to use smartmontools for that. If those hard drives are in a RAID array, you may be able to pick up the SMART data through the controller. Be sure to check the "-d" option in the smartctl man page.

smartmontools will do the job. It is however not trivial to install on XenServer. Here is a tutorial: http://www.schirmacher.de/display/INFO/Install+smartmontools+on+Citrix+XenServer .
