There is an adaptec raiodctl package (I think that is the name). I
recently retired my last 2100s so I no longer can go check it.
However, there is a freebsd program that can be used to report on and
manage your raid on a 2100s. Google frebsd and adaptec 2100s
Besides being able to run it at will, I also had a cron job that
would run it periodically and email me the results. (I also do that
with my amr devices and my aac devices with the appropriate raid
management programs).

Hi all,
I hope someone can answer the following question for me (which may
be trivial).
In my fall-back server I use an Adaptec 2100S SCSI RAID controller,
with two (identical) drives attached to it. This morning I recieved
the dreaded phonecall (from the server farm) that that machine is
emitting a loud beep,which I remember to be the RAID controller's
alarm in case a drive has failed.
Now, the above is clear and all, and I will replace the broken
drive asap, so no question there.
However, I am about to go on a 3 week holiday to South America, and
as I'll then be on an entirely different continent, I was wondering
if there are any ways to remotely check the status of hardware RAID
arrays. :D
In this case I tried dmesg (and checking the /var/log/messages
file) and I couldn't find a single error message from the RAID
controller (which can be deemed 'desirable' behaviour, as one of
the two drives still works fine).
Are there any software tools for FreeBSD that can be used to check
this remotely from an SSH terminal (no X), or better yet, is there
support in FreeBSD itself for checking the status of hardware RAID
arrays?
Tnx in advance, and cheers!
Olafo
PS: I am wondering about the same question for the 3ware 9600 SATA
RAID controller too. It would be great to be able to monitor that
remotely as well.
