Looks like thats what I did.
But what is the exact purpose of 'cmaidad'. Is it a replacement for SMART? I think it is...But just want to confirm

At my university we use HP hardware exclusively. When we build CentOS our Unix SA is running several HP utilities. I am wondering what some of these utilities are, such as cmaidad. Is it possible to to use these HP utilities to monitor for disk crashes (similar to smartd)? Is anyone using native HP utilities for this purpose?
I just did a round of HP patches to my DL series servers. In doing so I went to the HP site and installed the Support Pack RPMs. This provide a load of tool including the Compaq RAID utility (cqpacuex). However these tools run as daemons so if you want a small footprint, this might not be the way for you. The tools do provide a web-based dignostics utility which also allows you to configure the host array or in my case, the fibre attached storage arrays.
In the past I have had to change the name in the /etc/*release file to RedHat to install HP stuff. I can't remember if I had to do that this time! Dp. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
