RAID Monitoring
It has the capability to have (4) additional hard drives so I am considering to install (4) 2TB drives and configure as RAID5 which I can use for backups.. The Caddies for these drive do not have led indicators. I am trying to find a way to have the system tell me there is a problem - without looking at the RAID controller or the Logs every day.
I have talked to HP but they have no solution except to Install Insight Manager - which looks like a lot of heavy software to do a what I thought was a simple task . ( I did install Insight and it caused me BIG problems with my eSATA Multilane connection to 4 drives in an ADDONICS external Drive Box and the system went into SLOW mode.) - Now disabled.
Surely there must be some way to automatically flag up problems on these drives? All help appreciated. I guess if I had Server 2008 I could have the system log send me emails.)
