Re: monitoring raid arrays

How about monitoring the array on a Dell PowerEdge 2650?
relevant dmesg output:

FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE-p2 #0: Mon Jan 16 12:27:14 MST 2006
aacch0: <AAC RAID Channel> port 0xcc00-0xccff mem 0xfccff000-0xfccfffff irq

I'm running FreeBSD 6.1 on a Compaq Proliant and a Dell PowerEdge 1800.
They have hardware raid 1 arrays controlled respectively by a Compaq
Smart Array 532
controller and PERC 4/SC.

Here is the relevant dmesg output on the Proliant:
ciss0: <Compaq Smart Array 532> port 0x4000-0x40ff mem
0xf7fc0000-0xf7ffffff,0xf7ef0000-0xf7ef3fff irq 24 at device 3.0 on pci7
[snip]
da0 at ciss0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: <COMPAQ RAID 1 VOLUME OK> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device
da0: 135.168MB/s transfers
da0: 34727MB (71122560 512 byte sectors: 255H 32S/T 8716C)

Here is the relevant dmesg output on the PowerEdge:
amr0: <LSILogic MegaRAID 1.53> mem 0xf80f0000-0xf80fffff irq 37 at
device 5.0 on pci2
amr0: delete logical drives supported by controller
amr0: <LSILogic PERC 4/SC> Firmware 351S, BIOS 1.10, 64MB RAM
[snip]
amr0: delete logical drives supported by controller
amrd0: <LSILogic MegaRAID logical drive> on amr0
amrd0: 139900MB (286515200 sectors) RAID 1 (optimal)

What are my options to monitor the status of these arrays?

for ciss, you can use camcontrol (in the base system) like that:

# camcontrol inquiry da0
pass0: <COMPAQ RAID 1 VOLUME OK> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device
pass0: 135.168MB/s transfers

for amr, you can use the new port /usr/ports/sysutils/amrstat like that:

# amrstat
Logical volume 0 optimal (16.96 GB, RAID1)
Physical drive 0:0 online
Physical drive 0:1 online


Best regards,
Thierry.
