Current version: 1.4
This is a local RAID monitoring script for Dell PowerEdge RAID Controllers (PERCs) (and also CERCs) which works in conjunction with Dell's OpenManage Server Administration (OMSA) tool called 'omreport'. It is intended as a single replacement for both Megaraid and AACRAID monitoring scripts and is the only realistic way to monitor megaraid_mm/megaraid_mbox driven PERC RAID devices under linux 2.6 kernels with the loss of "/proc/megaraid" (kernel 2.4).
Note that while the entire OMSA suite is large, you don't need to install it all to have this script work. If you download the package and untar/zip it you can simply run the installer with the "-s" option to install the base and storage components only.
Alternatively, you can go to http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Repository/OMSA where you can learn about how to install the bits of OMSA you need from Dell's repository at least for RHEL and SuSE. There are repackagings of OMSA for Debian, Ubuntu, etc. if you look hard enough.
While most servers have only one PERC in them, this script should deal with any number of Controllers, Virtual Disks and Array Disks. The syntax should be simple enough that you can add any extra tests fairly easily. To do this you should look through "/opt/dell/srvadmin/sm/mibs/dcstorag.mib" for possible values for the field you wish to monitor.
