Anyone have any suggestions for tools to use ? We use 3Ware RAID cards, and they have a CLI util called tw_cli. We run tw_cli info c0 every hour into a rotating file. Then from crontab we run a script that diffs the current output to the last hour's output. If there's a difference, it emails us. The current 3Ware software has an option to email errors. You shouldn't need to do anything that fancy just to find out if something fails. -- Bowie ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

There is also a GUI tool from LSI called Megaraid Storage Manager (msm). We use it with LSI and Perc controller on CentOS and RedHat.

[CentOS] RAID / OS Monitoring tools ?
Hi List; I just got a new server (my first **real** server). It's a dell 2900 : quad core XEON (with a spare slot for a 2nd quad core chip) 8G memory (expandable to 64G) 8 hot swap SATA HD slots onboard PERC6i RAID controller etc I initially setup the system / RAID as follows: 1) booted off the dell setup CD 2) walked through the RAID setup and formatted the drives 3) the setup bombed when it asked for a RHEL install media (I suspect cause I gave it a CentOS 5 install DVD instead) 4) powered off 5) restarted the box with the CentOS DVD in the drive and installed CentOS 5 The RAID configuration was as I had set it up in the DELL setup cd so I'm happy. Now I want to be able to monitor the box, specifically with respect to the RAID drives so I'll know if one has gone bad and the RAID configuration has failed over to it. Anyone have any suggestions for tools to use ? Thanks in advance... ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
