Raid status (Dell Perc 5i / LSI MegaRAID SAS 8480E)

[hildrum]

Hello,

I`m consider start using PROXMOX, but I need some information concerning RAID status.
What posibility do I have to get RAID information into PROXMOX for my raid controller?

Thank you for helping me

Hi,

install Dell OMSA and you have everything you need.

good luck

Or look around here: http://hwraid.le-vert.net/ - basic status and alerts for all major brands, debian repo available.

OTOH, I "installed" Dell OMSA on an R420 but basically nothing worked except for CPU temps, maybe. At the end I determined that 2.6.32 just won't cut it.

Thank you all for fast respons.

So maybe hwraid..x..x.. is the soultion for me. I basically need raid status and BBU alert properly? something more?
Where do you get this alarm, can you get them inside the GUI/web interface to proxmox and maybe also on email?

This is not really a proxmox tool.

Remember. Proxmox just runs on debian.

HWRaid is configured independently of of proxmox, but by default will email you the raid status.
