Hi,
I also have DELL PowerEdge 2450/PERC2 raid and RH62.
The only way I have found to monitor RAID status is
to use 'afacli' utility. You can download it from Dell site.
However, it is an interactive tool and I have not been able to
use it in batch mode (I usually set up some monitoring scripts
that monitor system operations and email me some reports).
I am currently considering NOT using Dell servers anymore because:
- PERC2 driver is a binary only module that is available
for RH62 (and may be RH7 now) only.
- No support for Linux 2.4 kernels.
- Dell told us that these machines ran standard Linux kernel,
this is wrong since a binary only driver available from Dell is
necessary.
Hope this helps
