I recently rented a Dual Xeon server w/SCSI RAID 5 (3 drives). When I got it, I was told that ThePlanet monitored the RAID for drive failures. I filed a ticket asking (figureing the techs would know more than sales) and was informed they do not monitor it, but would attend to a RAID alarm if they noticed while walkking by the server. The suggested I use afacli to monitor the RAID array.

Do you have any documentation on how to monitor with AFACLI or, better yet, a monitoring script for a cron job? RAID 5 isn’t that useful if I don’t learn about a failed drive promptly so I can have it replaced before there is a second failure.

Discuss this at planet forums or get a dedicated server from theplanet.com for $50 only
