SmartArray, Linux, security and supervision

[Jerome Fenal_1]

Hi,

we have here 10 to 12 (didn't count recently) DL360G2 with integrated smart arrays to power the RAID1 for the two internal disks.

There is here a pressure on security, so we update regularly the package of stock RedHat 7.2 distro. Including the kernel.
The machine are on a distant site, with access control, and nobody in to check disk LEDs.

So my question : how can I supervise the smart controller of my servers to check any problem (failed disk) the same way it is possible with Windows ACU.

As the kernel update often, I can only afford open source tools, but not closed source as the one offered on Compaq support site (which won't work as expected, BTW).

Regards, and thanks for help.
