check to see if a drive has failed

[Scott Briggs]

OMSA comes with SNMP support, so really the simplest solution is to
use whatever monitoring software you use to poll the status of the
raid (assuming you have some kind of monitoring software).
Personally, I use nagios and there are a couple of plugin scripts
available that do just this.
