i am using opensource megaraid driver (2.6.17) . Do you know any opensource monitoring tool for the opensource megaraid drivers Or is there a way to check the state of harddrives connected to the megaraid controller?

I've only found MegaCLI which has the kind of interface that makes
me wish I was a bricklayer (I'm looking at the SAS raid card btw).
Pick your card out from http://www.lsilogic.com/cm/DownloadSearch.do
and you should get something. No source (fooey) but at least it's
something.
Wish the source was available though. I might be bothered to do
something about the interface.

I'd like to add a "ME TOO" here. as well as one for the adaptec raid cards.
Last time I looked, the only software I could find for megaraid was a
program from Dell (binary only unfortunately)

Hi, thanks for answering me!
If i find something out i will let you know.
THe last info i got is that it is somehow possible with smartmon tools.
(a la smartctl -d megaraid,0 /dev/sda)
I am asking smartmontools developers right now, because there is no out of the
box support for megaraid.
Also i was told that there is a binary monitoring tool from lsi-logic page.
But will it work with open source driver?

That'd be great.

I have never tried this.

I'm not sure about the program from LSI, but the one from Dell seems to work
with any megaraid controller (the one I do have happens to be a dell
megaraid card). The program I used from that package looks very similar to
the bios configuration tool and you can change disk layouts from within the
program while still in linux.

The program from Dell is the same program you get from LSI. Yes, it does
work with the kernel's "new generation" megaraid driver. Just make sure
/dev/megadev0 is present.
