Jaycen, the RAID array appears to the host just as a big physical
disk with one or more partitions. The fact that its RAID "under the
covers" is pretty much invisible to the host (assuming you're using hardware
RAID). The disk space monitors will report free space like with any other
disk.
Your particular RAID vendor may also provide management agents for
reporting on the status of the array itself so you can, for example, be notified
when a disk has failed, or is about to fail. I haven't configured this
yet, but I know that my Compaq management agents will expose this info both via
WMI and SNMP.

Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] raid 5Hi all,
I am hoping to monitor diskspace on a Raid 5 array. Is anyone else doing this? If so do I need to compile speific mibs or will the nt performance counters report accurately? I am very new to SNMP so any and all information is welcome.Thanks
Jay
