CentOS Community,
What commands can I use to check the disk health of the system when LVM2 is being used on top of a RAID 10 using a HARDWARE 3ware raid card. The OS sees a hardware raid usually as one big drive. Is there a way to check the disks individually to see if any are failing, or throwing hard or scsi transport errors?
You need to get the tw_cli tool from the 3ware page. With this you can check the health of the raid and its disks:
# tw_cli /c0 show
