Adaptec RAID controller monitoring

Download the Storage Manager RPM for your card model and architecture from the official site http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/support/raid/.
If you run /usr/StorMan/arcconf and get this error:
./arcconf: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

You need to preload additional library:
Code: Select all
export LD_PRELOAD="/usr/StorMan/libstdc++.so.5"

Help information can be obtained with the help of the following command:
Code: Select all
/usr/StorMan/arcconf

Look at device status:
Status of logical device : Optimal


As always, additional information can be found at logs:

To simplify libraries preload one can also use the following shell wrapper:
/usr/bin/arcconf
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
cd "/usr/StorMan"
if [ -n "/usr/StorMan" ] ; then
        if [ "${LD_LIBRARY_PATH+set}" = "set" ] ; then
                export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/StorMan"
        else
                export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/StorMan"
        fi
fi
exec ./arcconf "$@"
