I'm looking to do a bit more monitoring of my 3ware 9550 with smartd, and wanted to see what others were doing with smart for monitoring 3ware hardware.
Do you have the smartd.conf configured to test, or simply monitor health status? Are you monitoring the drive as centos sees it (/dev/sdX) or are you using the 3ware /dev/twaX for monitoring?
Opinions and discussions are welcome :-P
Have you thought about tying tw_cli into nagios? That's one of my round-tuit projects. I'm sure there are already plugins for it, and it seems like you may get better info.
On a somewhat related note. I haven't yet looked into what 3ware does on the SNMP side. Does it include a MIB file? Anyone generating traps on bad disk events?
Not hard to set up your own OID to run a shell script to check disk status, but traps are cooler. :)
