Once you have dell's aacraid tool installed, I used the check_raid.pl script at http://www.nagiosexchange.org/DELL_Server.61.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1% 5Bp_view%5D=12
to integrate in with Nagios.
Get the afaapps tools from Dell's site however, since they are newer.
Thanks Tarun and Dan. I've found afaapps package after searching Dell's website. The (older) dellmgr was unable to detect my card (I guess it supports older cards), but tools from afaaps worked great. The tool almost immediately showed me a problem with one of the drives that I would be unaware of without it (apperently, there were errros on one of the buses, so bus speed backed all the way down to 5MHz, giving only 10 MB/s transfer rate). I've noticed a bit lower performance, but I initially tought it was just due to the relatively older disks I was playing with.
The only thing is that afaaps package assumes old monolitic /dev. I need to write config file for udev, so that afa0 device is created during boot under CentOS. If I manage to come up with something, I'll share it to the list.
Thanks again for great pointers, Aleksandar Milivojevic
