Ibm x3650 raid

[matthew]

Has anyone found out how to monitor the RAID array on a "IBM X3650"?

Install megacli and utilize the command line. If your looking for something with a GUI, I don't think you will have much luck.

something like

?

or some local scheduled cron jobs reporting by mail the megacli dumped status?

Does installing megacli require any special repositories? How do you install it?

I simply want something I can write a script for and be sent a daily report on the RAID health.

Anyone know of a simple way to check RAID status on the command line? Would like to script this and email myself a daily status report on RAID. Would like to avoid custom repository since that caused trouble in past updating to Proxmox 3.x.

I use this repository for megacli:

http://hwraid.le-vert.net/wiki/LSIMegaRAIDSAS

Works stable since years. For a little raid monitoring daemon check megaraidsas-status.

I've read also this your post http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/14523-Proxmox-on-IBM-X3650?highlight=x3650

repositories are just the easy method to get and update a software, not the only way?

and you don't need to _keep_ the repository, if you don't want! you can
1) add the repo, download with apt, comment the repo. easy.
2) download and install the megacli .deb
3) download and compile the its sources without repositories...
