Hello everyone,

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?

Also any suggestions on what to use to monitor it as well? Can't get  
smartmontools to work.

Thank you and have a nice day.

Dianne
