how to monitor RAID of Sun x4100?



Greetings,
We have some Sun x4100 servers (not x4100 M2), they have LSI raid card
and 2 disks, and we configured them with RAID 1, and install windows
2003 or Solaris on them. The question is how to monitor the RAID if
one of the disks is down ? we know Dell servers come with OptiManager
that could monitor the disks, is there a same solutions for x4100
servers?

I searched this maillist, someone mentioned LSI mystorage software , I
checked it, looks only has versions for windows and linux. So I
downloaded the windows one, and installed it on one x4100 (windows
2003), but when I run it, it displayed something like 'detecting card'
and after some time, still this message, and the server stop
responding .

I also checked the SUN ILOM, but it seems could only monitor server
enviroment, such as power, fan .etc.

The same question goes for Sun x2100, it could also setup RAID on
BIOS? but how to monitor them?

Thanks.
