The hpasmd/hpasmcli tools at [1] (see above) can be used for that purpose. (One important thing is that hpasmd should only be started with the -i option. Without it, random reboots can happen under certain conditions.) See example below. Regarding RAID5: Personally I try to avoid it. If HA is a concern, I recommend to use RAID1. Just my 2 cents. Best regards Oliver PS: Using hpasmd + hpasmcli on a HP ProLiant DL360 G4 to report temperature, fans, and UID LED status: # uname -rs FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE # hpasmcli -s "show temp; show fans; show uid" Sensor Location Temp Threshold ------ -------- ---- --------- #0 SYSTEM_BD - - #1 I/O_ZONE 38C/100F 63C/145F #2 CPU#1 46C/114F 85C/185F #3 CPU#2 47C/116F 85C/185F #4 POWER_SUPPLY_BAY 32C/89F 48C/118F #5 SYSTEM_BD 30C/86F 41C/105F Fan Location Present Speed of max Redundant Partner Hot-pluggable --- -------- ------- ----- ------ --------- ------- ------------- #1 PROCESSOR_ZONE Yes NORMAL 49% Yes 0 No #2 SYSTEM Yes NORMAL 49% Yes 0 No UID is currently off. # hpasmcli -s "set uid on" UID is now on. -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.

"Python tricks" is a tough one, cuz the language is so clean. E.g., C makes an art of confusing pointers with arrays and strings, which leads to lotsa neat pointer tricks; APL mistakes everything for an array, leading to neat one-liners; and Perl confuses everything period, making each line a joyous adventure <wink>. -- Tim Peters
