Hi all,

I'm currently testing DSS (Open-E) on a Dell server which has a PERC H700 RAID controller on which I've configured a RAID-10 RAID-set. However, I would like to view the status of the disk drives in this array.

On non shared storage servers (virtualization nodes with local storage) we can use the Dell OpenManage software to check the status of our disk drives.

Open-E however does not support this (I think). It is really important for us and other Dell users to have some kind of alert (email or SNMP, either way) in case a drive fails. I do not know if it is possible to go into the Open-E OS shell and integrate it ourselves, I found a SSH option but that was not what I'm looking for.

Anyone got an idea about this?
