RAID Monitoring

[Baird, Josh]

I use ZenOSS to monitor the status of all of our arrays (with some help from OpenManage of course).  

Any events are sent as SNMP traps to ZenOSS which in turn notifies the necessary people via email.

It depends on the hardware - most recent PowerEdges use LSI-based RAID cards, 
and the megaCLI interface will work for them.  PERC/2 (IIRC) and CERC cards use 
the adaptec chipset, and there will be versions of the afacli program that, with 
a bit of kind-of-nasty scripting, can be used to monitor those older cards.
