The operating system has access to RAID set as it were one physical drive. So, it is not a simple matter of checking a disk. A failure of a disk in a RAID can only be determined by the manufacturer's hardware driver or management software. So there are basically two options to check such a failure:
- Event Log - most manufacturer's driver software generate an event in the Event Log. For instance, Compaq Insight Manager generates an event in the Event Viewer's System Log when there's a problem with a disk. Let ActiveXperts Network Monitor scan the Event Log for such events;
- SNMP - more and more manufacturers support SNMP for their RAID controller. ActiveXperts fully supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3. Check the vendor's manual for relevant SNMP OID's.
