Is anybody here monitoring Dell SAS6/iR RAID health? I have a mix of CentOS 5.9 and 6.3 installs on the PE1950s. I'm finding drivers and Megaraid Storage Manager downloads via LSI's site, but I'd prefer not to install a bunch of crapware. All I need is the proper LSI daemon which exports info via SNMP. I've used check_sasraid_megaraid Nagios script [0] in the past for PERC5i and PERC6i controllers in Dell PE2950s. For 2950s I've only had to install sas_snmp-3.11-0003.i386.rpm from LSI to get rolling. I've tried installing parts from the MSM zip/tarball mess to install only the lsi_mrdsnmpd daemon (lsi_mrdsnmpagent). PERC5i = LSI 8048e (megaraid) PERC6i = LSI SAS 1078 (megaraid) SAS6/iR = LSI SAS 1068e (mptfusion) [0] wleibzon.bol.ucla.edu/nagios [1] lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2009-November/085215.html Thanks for any nudges in the right direction. -- ---~~.~~--- Mike // SilverTip257 //

Let me urge you in the *strongest* terms to get your PO's out for replacements, yesterday if possible. We had a lot of them. Then, about two years ago, they started dying - inside of a month, we had three? four? die, and it continued. What was happening was the RAID controller - if you really want, I can go look up, in old emails, the error number that showed on the LCD screen. When that happened, it was gone, dead. I will admit to being amazed at the quality control, that they *all* started dying in such a short timespan. mark
