Re: FreeBSD and Hot Swap rebuild on SCSI disks.
Hi Michael, Thanks for the prompt response ... it was my bad to send you an email before googling. :-) I have managed to install the tool right after the email. Do you happen to use any script which will notify the health of the raid ? I have done some researching the only script which i found was on adaptec site but it is not "useful" and it fires up a process dpteng (aint sure that is what) In case you are interested the script is in the following URL: http://linux.adaptec.com/linux_092001.html Please let me know if you have more information about monitoring Adaptec RAID on FreeBSD. Thank you so much for your assistance.

Re: FreeBSD and Hot Swap rebuild on SCSI disks.
Hi Michael, Thanks for the reply. I have tried to search raidutil in /usr/ports but i could not find any. Is that in FreeBSD ports or do i need to compile it manually from somewhere ? Thank you.

If you find such a tool, please let me know so I can use it on my AMR MegaRAID (Dell Perc 2/SC) RAID 5 array. -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.

FreeBSD and Hot Swap rebuild on SCSI disks.
Greetings, I have setup the following: FreeBSD 4.8 and using Adaptec 2100s for the SCSI RAID 5. Currently there are 5 harddisks which have been setup as RAID 5 and 1 harddisk acts as hot spare. Interestingly, is there any tool on FreeBSD which allows to rebuild the array on the fly or is it a must to reboot and goto Adaptec 2100s SMOR to rebuild? If latter is the only option it defects the purpose of HOT SWAP capabilities. Anyone using Adaptec 2100s on FreeBSD please share some informations on how do you manage the array. TIA!
