Monitoring a RAID Array

[fdservices]

Simple question, I hope. How can I get SBS2003 with Dell RAID to send me an email report on the health of the RAID Array?

Many thanks for any tips

I think that might be an option using the Dell Open Manage software - have you looked at this?

Thanks.

Yes I did, but all I could find was a button to send a report, no way of scheduling the report automatically.

Do you know how it is done?

Thanks for the response

I would use HoundDog for this. It's a subscription service, but it's a pay-for-what-you-use thing and it would be very cheap to set up RAID monitoring.

It's a great roll-your-own solution for consultants that want to sell monitoring, or for admins who want something easy to set up that will send text alerts if there's a problem.
