Hi Daniel, I don't know about your specific RAID Card, but I'm successfully monitoring 3ware and Adaptec RAID cards using Nagios. First thing is to find the CLI (command line) tool used to interact with the Adapter. For 3ware, this is called tw_cli. For Adaptec it's called arcconf. These tools are located on the respective manufacturers websites or install cd's. Once you have the CLI tools installed and know how to use them, you can either build your own nagios check/plugin around it, or find something almost ready for you here: <a href="http://www.nagiosexchange.org">http://www.nagiosexchange.org</a> I'm using the check_tw_cli and check_icp plugins from that site, and with minimal modifications, I'm successfully monitoring the RAID containers. These plugins don't tell me which disk is having problems, but I'm notified if the RAID container goes into degraded or another type of mode, and then I can follow up and investigate further. Hope this helps! -Philip <div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Dec 21, 2008 at 9:20 AM, Daniel Bareiro <<a href="mailto:daniel-listas@gmx.net">daniel-listas@gmx.net</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Hi all! I would like to be able to verify the state of the RAID volumes handled by a Smart Array E200 controller. Somebody knows some Nagios plugin that can recommend to me? Perhaps something that can interact with cciss_vol_status can be interesting, although this command seems that shows the state of the RAID as a whole and would not give of the discs that possibly could fail. Thanks in advance.
