Raid 5 and 6 array monitoring
list Paul Krash
Morning (or evening depending on where you are)! I did a preliminary search of the hobbit archives and didn't find what I was looking for (maybe due to sleep deprivation). Have request to monitor several multi Terabyte raids with critical data anmd be able to identify which disk(s) are complaining. LSI and Highpoint controllers Are in use. Mfg's software does not specify which disk, w/o running gui. I am trying to implement robotic arm that will change disks w/o intervention based on hobbit alerts. Any ideas? OS running on clients: linux kernel 2.6.24 Thanks in advance!

LSI certainly do some tools you can download, though which tools are required depends on the particular controller. I'm using those tools on some (rebadged) LSI controllers. You may also find that they support IPMI in which case you can use the IPMI tools to query the status. -- Rob MacGregor Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he doesn't become a monster.
