i'm configuring a storage server with CentOS 6.2, it uses a LSI MegaRAID SAS controller, I'm using LSI's megacli to configure the storage... Any ideas on how to get drive failure notifications out of this system? I'm configuring hot spares but I'd still like some sort of notification when a drive has failed so the spare can be replaced.
don't know how to do it on CentOS but on Ubuntu, I use megaclisas-status package which goes hand in hand with megacli and it sends notifications.
If you want, I can e-mail you the megaclisas-status script from /usr/sbin and beyond that, there's a sysv initscript that periodically checks and sends an e-mail. Simple enough.
not having much luck locating that megaclisas-status script
http://hwraid.le-vert.net/wiki/LSIMegaRAIDSAS talks about it, but the source is nowhere to be found
I found this, which looks moderately interesting, but I'm not a python programmer http://windowsmasher.wordpress.com/2011/08/15/using-megacli-to-monitor-openf...
