Hi All,
Background: I have HP RAID setups (Smart Array 5, shows up as /dev/ cciss/c0d0) on my DL380s, and they run great with CentOS. I have had a drive failure (HDD lights up amber), so I pulled the HDD, replaced it and the RAID controller rebuilt the array in a jiffy - no probs.
My question: I cant find anything in the logs to alert me that a drive failed - this makes sense since the RAID is hardware, so i presume i need some management software however i cant find anything on HP or Compaq's sites to tell me what software i need to be running. I imaging it is something like cpq_alert or such. | Does anyone on the list run HP or Compaq hotswapable kit? How do you get alerted to failures?
Download the whole Proliant Support Pack for the appropriate RHEL version:

It's been a little while, but I believe you'll have to play with /etc/ issue to get the installer to run.
Using the PSP is *much* easier than installing the various Proliant linux utilities piecemeal.
