Glad I could help. :) I think the one I'm using is by Thomas Krenn: https://github.com/thomas-krenn/check_lsi_raid It's pretty thorough. It's a little too sensitive sometimes; for example, it will alert critical for a drive that's rebuilding (e.g. if you replaced a failing drive recently). But it covers everything I know of, including physical devices, logical volumes, and BBUs. --keith -- kkeller at wombat.san-francisco.ca.us
