I just had an IBM in a remote location with a hardware
raid1 have both
drives go bad. With local machines I probably would have caught it from the drive light before the 2nd one died... What is
the state of
the art in linux software monitoring for this? Long ago when that box was set up I think the best I could have done was a
Java GUI tool
that IBM had for their servers - and that seemed like
overkill for a
simple monitor. Is there anything more lightweight that
knows about
the underlying drives in a hardware raid set on IBM's - and also recent HP servers?
We use MegaCLI, but it has the risk of hanging the box
(observed only once).
Just changed out a drive last night because of it.

Can you share any detail on this? Controller/drive model? MegaCli version? How exactly did it lock up?
Locked up the OS, not the array. Power cycled after the array synced the new drive 6 hours later.

The sleep 1 was abusive!
I use it extensively so this worries me. :)
