I did a Suse Professional 9.1 (x86_64) installation on Compaq Proliant ML350G4 with Smart Array 641 (with Raid1). Every bit of hardware was detected successfully, but now I'm looking for a diagnostics tool for Raid. The server is going to be located in server hotel so I can't have everyday look at the console lights that both HDD:s are online, so I have to be able to get this information through programs. Does anyone have any tools to do this (I don't need anything for configuration, just for diagnostics)? Haven't yet tried if ADU/ACU provided by HP works (there isn't version for Suse Pro). Have been crawling around the net for this but nothing has been right yet. I'll be buying the SLES if there isn't any other way. With regards, J

I guess that the SLES9 version of HP/Compaq's ACU should work with 9.1 Pro, but I haven't tried it myself yet.. Anders.
From psp-package I tried installing cpqacuxe (with 'rpm -ivh cpqacuxe-7.16-21.linux.rpm') but following dependency failed:

Perhaps you should try some older version of cpqacuxe ? I don't remember which one should be compatible with SuSE 9.1, but one or two certainly should work. Download some of them and try, you'll find them all at ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/servers/supportsoftware/linux Anders.

That library you should not play with unless you really know what you are doing. Many things are linked against it and would be broken if you replaced it. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
First off do a "rpm -qa | grep libstdc++" and see if you have these two rpm's installed: libstdc++-3.3.3-33 libstdc++-devel-3.3.3-33 If not install them. You did not list what version of SuSe you are using so I can only assume 9.1. Which is the version this lib is included in.

I think I remember that the 641 supports snmp, so you could set up Nagios to collect information about the array and the individual drives that comprise the array. -- _______________________________________________________________ A Message From...

If that's all you really want, just stick this in cron.daily mdadm --detail /dev/md0 | mail -s Raid_Status cocke@catherders.com (adjust the email address and the /dev for your config) Or you can get a bit more elaborate - do something like: mdadm --detail /dev/md0 | grep for 'failed' (or whatever, I don't recall how it indicates a failure), and if it's found, then send email, dial a pager, whatever.

No, md is only used by Linux software md's. The Compaq Smart Array controller "lives it's own life" and uses its own diagnostic software. The ordinary Linux tools cannot be used, only software from the controller's vendor, in your case Compaq/HP. Anders.

I missed that. Hmm. Then the only option looks like a linux port of whatever Compaq uses to talk to the controller. Mike- -- If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs...

For example like all the cpqacuxe utilities found in ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/servers/supportsoftware/linux ? They're all build for linux.. :) Anders.
