I think arctool is only for arcmsr-devices. unfortunately aaccli doesn't provide the possibility to use it with parameters, so you probably need to use it with an expect-script. On the adaptec 2410SA I activated the "alarm" feature in the controller bios, which helps me, because its a home server but this will not help you if your server is sitting somewhere else. Because of this limitation (and a few other things with the controller) I'm certainly looking for an other solution. In my case a ZFS-based software RAID will suffice, but this might not be desirable for you. Take care & good luck, Robert
