How Does Hardware RAID Monitoring Work

@dbeato said in How Does Hardware RAID Monitoring Work:
In the case of Dell or HP the new DRAC and iLO can do the RAID monitoring as well.
Only if using their hardware RAID, which is part of they key. In something like SuperMicro with IPMI, SM doesn't have RAID cards themselves.

Correct

Has nothing to do with new iDRAC or iLO. This has been a native function of those for years.

You cannot monitor Hardware RAID prior to DRAC 7 with DRAC... so that's not new to you?

iLO at least has done it since.... I can't remember when. A very long time. DRAC I have no idea.

emember when. A very long time. DRAC I have no
Yes iLO I can understand but Dell was way behind...

That use to be true a lot. They seem to be catching up a lot more the last several years.

You made me go look at an old system i have out there with iDrac 6. You are correct.
That is what I get for not checking first. I did say I use OMSA for my daily driver, and that does.

But you are also correct on the fact that OMSA does that anyway so I reviewed the other post for context .

Pretty limited options for hardware monitoring of hardware RAID. Almost always done via software, somewhere.
