They can probably go anywhere, since a normal user won't have the
permissions to open the proper devices anyway.
I use slightly modified versions of these scripts with Nagios. I
haven't had a drive fail yet (so one is sure to fail in the next day or
two), but the scripts worked when the chiller in the room failed and the
temperature spiked--they notified me that the internal temperatures of
the ROC and the drives were all too high.
There is a GUI to the MegaRAID controllers available. I seldom use it
so I can't give too much information about it.
If the OP's servers use a different controller there may still be
scripts like these, just let us know what the hardware is. (I know they
exist for 3ware, I think they may for Areca.)
