Most hardware RAID manufacturers have software you can download that
interfaces with the raid controller to monitor and/or make changes to
the underlying controller.
At work we use IBM servers which have a java based app called
ServeRAID that allows me to monitor the underlying RAID array, as well
as create new arrays while the system is live, which I have set to
notify me if something goes wrong.
That said, I don't know about Dell but our IBM's also have an orange
indicator light on the drive bays so if a drive is kicked I can see it
first thing when I get into the office to swap tapes. That's usually
the first warning I get that something is amiss.
