Hi,
Thanks for support about battery.
But I still have questions about SMART. I asked LSI about SMART monitoring using their tools and they recomended using third party tool like smartmontools. Do you use it for SMART monitoring of S/W RAID drives ? I saw a manual for smartmontools and there is a possibility to check SMART status of drive used by MegaRAID controller (option "-d megaraid").
Will it work ? Can it be added to console like a tool or something? I don't think it is much work to do as tool exists.

I believe that Open-E has got MegaCLI build in hence you can create / delete LSI arrays from the WebGUI (h/w raid sub-menu). Here you can find more information about The MegaRAID Command Tool (CT) is a command line interface (CLI) application for

Hello,
I was not asking about MegaCLI. I have checked that "smartmontools" in newest version is able to check SMART status at each drive connected to controller. It works under CentOS 6 and MegaRAID driver version 5.3. I am asking about that functionality in Open-e DSS as tools exists.

Sorry to bring up an older post, but has there been a resolution to the battery issue? We're also experiencing it (but with the Intel branded version of the card - RS25DB080).

latest build of DSSV6(5845) can sense the BBU with LSI chipset.
What version of DSSV6 and controller firmware are you using? The intel OEM may not have the latest from LSI yet.
