I was hoping to get recommendations on the proper way to test a RAID 1 hardware configuration. The controller is an Adaptec 2200S. I found an article, but not for this controller, that suggests to power off the system, pull one of the drives, boot the OS and power off again. Would this be the way to go?
That sounds quite silly - also going through reboots means downtime, isnt that the sort of thing that raid1 was designed to protect against anyway.
Also any suggestions on what to use to monitor it as well? Can't get smartmontools to work.
Have you looked into adaptec supplied management s/w ? In pretty much ever case with such hba's the most functional way to look at state and do any management on raid tends to be from vendor supplied s/w
