The old IBM Netfinity Servers had ServeRaid controllers and they were from IBM and had nothing to do with LSI. IIRC I've monitored those RAIDs with the ipssend utility back in the last millennium (really, 1999) :-) Regards, Simon

Hi, I'd like to monitor the disks connected to a ServeRaid-8k controller in a server running Centos 7 such that I can know when one fails. What's the best way to do that?
