They have a [http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/pvaul/en/perc-technical-guidebook.pdf PERC H700 Integrated] RAID controller, which can be managed by the MegaRAID Storage Manager software:
 
/usr/local/MegaRAID\ Storage\ Manager/StorCLI/storcli64 /c0 show all
 
 
 
The Nagios sensor in /usr/local/lib/nagios/plugins/check_lsi_raid checks the state of the controller with a somewhat poorly documented command:
 
 
 
/opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 adpallinfo a0
 
 
 
Where 'a0' stands for controller 0.
 
 
 
The output of this command contains a summary of the controller status, of which one block is particularly interesting:
 
 
 
                Device Present
 
                ================
 
Virtual Drives    : 2
 
  Degraded        : 0
 
  Offline        : 0
 
Physical Devices  : 16
 
  Disks          : 14
 
  Critical Disks  : 1
 
  Failed Disks    : 0
 
 
 
The 'Critical Disks' here shows there is a disk failing or about to fail. Although individual disk info can be retrieved e.g. with
 
 
 
storcli64 /c0/e32/sall show all
 
 
 
This doesn't directly say that a disk is critical; one has to infer this from the error counts, e.g.
 
 
 
Drive /c0/e32/s5 State :
 
======================
 
Shield Counter = 0
 
Media Error Count = 46
 
Other Error Count = 137
 
Drive Temperature =  36C (96.80 F)
 
Predictive Failure Count = 34
 
S.M.A.R.T alert flagged by drive = Yes
 
 
 
Visual inspection of the machine will show a blinking led on the failing disk. The numbering of the disks is top to bottom, then left to right with the top left position 0.
