check to see if a drive has failed

[Adam Williams]

I have several PE servers w/ OMSA installed in outlying locations.  I'd 
like to have the servers let me know if one of the drives has failed in 
the RAID5 in each server.  I know I can check them manually through the 
https://server:1311 interface, but I'd like to automate the process.  I 
was thinking of running a daily cron and having it email me the output 
from "omreport storage vdisk" and look at the Status Line.  I'm assuming 
if a drive failed the status line would change the degraded?  Are there 
other/better solutions out there?
