Hello, please how to discover from linux that the HDD in the HW Raid (1) is failed/need replace?
smartctl did not worked telling me it is not supported on that drive (drive appears like "Virtual" / /dev/mapper/vg-root) ...
i read that one can install raid controller vendor software to monitor it, but one i found (https://centosfreaks.wordpress.com/2012/01/09/monitor-hw-raid-with-dell-openmanage/) which is using http control panel, i need something simple, plain command line as i dont want to mess the server.
Tried to install "lshw" tool (lshw is a small tool to extract detailed information on the hardware configuration of the machine.)
it returns amongst others:
Please any ideas what to run/install so i can exactly tell whether some Raid HDD failed and requires replacement? thx
Update:
When googled "SAS1068E PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS" i found this post and they talk about "mpt-status" tool. So i googled it along with my linux distro name and downloaded the version suitable for my linux + installed by: rpm -ivh repourlpath . then it wanted daemonize to install, so i installed it thru yum. then needed to do "modprobe mptctl", now when did "mpt-status -i 0" command it returned:
