Hi,

Since my latest disaster was caused be me not monitoring raid disks, I
was wondering about tools for monitoring hardware based raid systems?

I have a Dell 1900 with a perc5 raid controller

# lspci
02:0e.0 RAID bus controller: Dell PowerEdge Expandable RAID controller 5

It is set up as RAID 10

I tried running smartctl on it, but that does not even work because the
system sees the array as just one disk.

I'm wondering how I can monitor the disks, etc...

Any advice?

Thanks
Rick
