RAID status in SUSE Linux 8.1

[TIMOTHEE]

Hello everybody,

i set up a disk array of two disks (RAID 1) on a HP DL 380 server using HP ORCA and then installed SuSE Linux 8.1. Since the smart array has been set up before the OS i didn't find any way to read the current status of the RAID in SuSE. Do you know of any tools/modules that would enable me to check it ?

thanks a lot and regards

Nicolas

hi,

use sccli command, this is default in latest kernels, if you dont have this command in you system , try downloading

rpm name

SUNWsccli-2.0-0w.i386.rpm

hope this works for you.

I have Dothill RAID, i got this rpm from them.

AFAIK, the only way to work with SmartArray [cciss driver] in linux - it's using "HP Array Configuration Utility for Linux" http://h18004.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/21601.html

hello guys,

thanks a lot for your quick answers.

Vitaly: it seems there are quite a few dependencies with cpqacuxe but it's not really well documented thus i don't know which other RPM's are needed.

Also i noticed cpqacuxe seems to be a web-based tool whereas i would prefer a command-line based tool so that i can batch the process easily for the only feature i'm looking for is the RAID status.

thanks for your inputs guys

have a great day

check HP driver&sowtware page - *there is* CLI utility too.
