If this were a Dell RAID, I could use megaraid while the system's running. Does anyone know what I need to use to manage the HP "amart array" RAID? I've got an orange light on a drive, and can't find, googling, whether I can just pull the drive, or if I have to separate it from the RAID, or.... And can't bring the system down to use the firmware interface, not without upsetting users.
Dealt with this a year or two ago, and can't find anything.

this page seems to suggest what all you need to install to get it to play, I'd check HP's site for newer versions, of course, but then a g5 is a pretty old server. http://koo.fi/blog/2008/06/08/hp-array-configuration-and-diagnostic-utilitie...

THANK YOU!
That was *exactly* what I needed. Boy, is that interface user hostile. Finally got it to tell me the drive'd failed.
Now, if we've got a spare 2.5" drive (I have grave doubts)....

It is. We inherited it, sorta, and it's in use in an intramural collaboration between us and another Institute.

I've got a bunch of time in with these, and I'll warn ya... HP's hardware RAID controllers will take discs offline for very small errors. We've seen heavy I/O knock a disk out of a RAID 5 that was just fine. Pop it out, pop it back in, re-sync's and it's fine for a long long time...
Just a heads up... I wouldn't 100% trust what the controller says the disk's state is until you've popped it out and back in and let the controller beat on it for a while to re-sync it. If it's really dead, it'll decide to show you that in about a minute after you shove it back in the server... light will come back on...

Hi.
You must install raid managemnt aplication from HP. Look at hp WWW - software related to serwer of yours and installed OS. I have Centos 5 and have this software running via web browser. CLI version is available also.
