They are external SCSI-IDE RAID enclosures. http://www.proware.com.tw/products/simbolo_3140.htm Anyone have any idea how I could monitor their RAID status over SCSI? According to the manufacturer, the devices are supposed to sound an alarm in the event of a drive failure. However, that doesn't help me if no one is in the data center paying attention. I plan on making a nagios plugin once I figure out how to extract the status of the devices. Ideally, I am looking for some command akin to "atacontrol status".
