Okay, this is probably a stupid question, but here goes:

We've got a database server that I'm going to wipe clean and install the latest OS. It's running 2.1 right now, and it has a hardware raid. I've found lots of stuff on software raid tools, but are there any tools on hardware raid?

We've got another box, an IBM AS/400, and when one of it's raid disks fail there's a message in the system queue to let me know. I'd like to find a way to have this database box email me or something if one of the raid disks fail, and then of course the tools to rebuild the raid when I replace the disk.

We're running Adaptec RAID SCSI adapters:

[oracle@sibrsdbs oracle]$ dmesg | grep -i scsi SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00 (scsi0) <Adaptec AIC-7899 Ultra 160/m SCSI host adapter> found at PCI 0/5/0 (scsi0) Wide Channel A, SCSI ID=7, 32/255 SCBs (scsi0) Downloading sequencer code... 396 instructions downloaded (scsi1) <Adaptec AIC-7899 Ultra 160/m SCSI host adapter> found at PCI 0/5/1 (scsi1) Wide Channel B, SCSI ID=7, 32/255 SCBs (scsi1) Downloading sequencer code... 396 instructions downloaded scsi0 : Adaptec AHA274x/284x/294x (EISA/VLB/PCI-Fast SCSI) 5.2.5/5.2.0 <Adaptec AIC-7899 Ultra 160/m SCSI host adapter> scsi1 : Adaptec AHA274x/284x/294x (EISA/VLB/PCI-Fast SCSI) 5.2.5/5.2.0 <Adaptec AIC-7899 Ultra 160/m SCSI host adapter>

Thanks!
