Adaptec ARCCONF getconfig - check Adaptec RAID array status

/usr/Storman/arcconf getconfig 1 al - Lists information about the controllers, logical drives, and physical devices.

To check the health of Adaptec RAID array on CentOS 5 server (RHEL 5 based, also Fedora) I have modified this script using ARCCONF and run it in CRON to get emailed about the status of RAID array (I have Adaptec RAID 3405 controller).

Adaptec Storage Manager software for managing, monitoring and checking the Adaptec RAID arrays is unlike 3Ware 3DM2 manager, not willing to run as a background service on CentOS / RHEL 5 based system.

You will need to download and install Adaptec utilites
and something else what I'm using is a great e-mailer script sendEmail which enables me to send email with attachment from CLI.

When Adaptec utilities are installed, you can get your RAID array information with the command:
# /usr/StorMan/arcconf getconfig 1 al
the output should be like this:

You should examine the output of the arcconf command on your system before you use the script and edit it if necessary.

Now that's all ok, but if something goes bad you will not know about it until you check it again manually.
This made me do the script to check from CRON (# crontab -l -- view cron, # crontab -e -- edit cron) every hour and email me the status if something wrong (or just a status report on Wednesday and Saturday - you can modify it when you want)

Now that's what I wanted !
