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.
I've tried countless times to get the LSI snmp agent designed just for this to work in CentOS 5 and 6, no luck.
Resorted to a pathetic snmp extend that runs megacli, sigh...
I just installed the Linux MSM package from LSI...
I had to add these packages to a minimal 6.2 install for what its worth...

The X stuff was required by the GUI manager, I suspect if you did a agent-only install, that wouldn't be needed.
I'm a total novice when it comes to snmp. but i'm reading some howto's and stumbling around.
