megasasctl can send you periodic reports of health of all physical and logical disks. On SAS disks you can also check disk temperature and various other log pages, or initiate disk self-tests in disk firmware. One case where this is handy is when you're about to rotate a new disk in after a failure; it's nice to be able to do a long self-test of the new disk first so you don't have it fail in the middle of the rebuild. http://sourceforge.net/projects/megactl/ You may wish to build from SVN, particularly if you need PERC6 RAID6 support. I haven't made a new release since before I had one to work with. _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
