I run a Proliant HP ML370 G3 and installed the software which HP provided (smart start CD and from the website) and alerts run just fine. There's also a very small hplog utility which is quite useful. Unfortunately the HP utilities aren't very rpm friendly, nor are they small considering how little they actually do... (and I would much, much prefer for simple command-line utils for everything instead of GUI and dialog boxes, not to mention that its pretty hard to figure out _what_ you should actually install).

Hi All,
Background: I have HP RAID setups (Smart Array 5, shows up as /dev/cciss/c0d0) on my DL380s, and they run great with CentOS. I have had a drive failure (HDD lights up amber), so I pulled the HDD, replaced it and the RAID controller rebuilt the array in a jiffy - no probs.
My question: I cant find anything in the logs to alert me that a drive failed
- this makes sense since the RAID is hardware, so i presume i need some
management software however i cant find anything on HP or Compaq's sites to tell me what software i need to be running. I imaging it is something like cpq_alert or such. | Does anyone on the list run HP or Compaq hotswapable kit? How do you get alerted to failures?
Thanks,
