@scottalanmiller and my luck they pulled it right when i would have tried to download it. SMH

I have asked this question before, but I guess now I am asking it a different way...

From what I have read, it seems XS itself can not monitor a RAID array on a hardware controller. I have a new XS with a fresh RAID 10 array created in XS. RAID is disabled in the BIOS, so it should not be an issue. I created the array across four disks, formatted it, mounted it, and can see it in XC. I was successfully able to create a VM and copy a VM to the array with no issues. Now, how to I keep an eye on it? How do I get alerts? I see you can able alerts, but I dont see anything about RAID or HDD status, just thoughput.

SAM, yes, the two server are identical, hardware wise. Same CPU's, same RAM, same mobo, everything. The only difference is the amount of HDD's installed and the type of arrays on them. I would not be opposed to removing the patch from the known good server, but as Dustin points out, it sounds like a PITA. Plus I dont want to risk hosing my good server. I guess it cant wait, but I would think before they would pull a buggy patch they would already have to fix in place first or atleast provide details on how to remove the patch safely.

Alright, here is another one....

So I have a couple of beefy UPS's that I would normally load their monitoring software on a Windows server, and the UPS would tell Windows to shutdown when the battery reaches a certain threshold after a power outage. So, how can I mimic this in Xenserver?
