So we updated Open-E from Version 5.0.DB39000000.2956 (this came with our USB stick) to version 5.0.DB42000000.3007 and upon reboot, we are able to see the RAID card info listed under the H/W Raid tab. It shows the disks and their status.
I setup the notification options in Open-E and they tested ok - I received a test email, but when I tried pulling out a drive to see what would happen, the event shows up in the Open-E console as an error immediately, but I did not get an email notification.
I rebooted the box after about 20 minutes and after the reboot, I did get some notification emails.
How can we make this work as expected (RAID is degraded--->email is sent immediately).
