I've read the thread about hpacucli, and have had my failed attempts to get it up and running under the linuxolator. So the question is: how do *you* monitor the status of your disks and RAID arrays? Any suggestions will be appriciated. Edwin -- Edwin Groothuis | Personal website: http://www.mavetju.org edwin@mavetju.org | Weblog: http://weblog.barnet.com.au/edwin/
