 /usr/StorMan/arcconf GETSTATUS 1

What Dilip is asking is how to check the RAID rebuilding progress, specially the percentage.

I don’t see anywhere on GETCOFIG where it shows this progress.

The GETSTATUS option returns no tasks in progress, even know the array is rebuilding.

The Adaptec bash commnds didn’t work for me.
I had to run GUI /usr/StorMan/./StorMan.sh while as root.

Hi,
I have two Adaptec 3405 RAIDs on my machine. I checked the link http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/downloads/storage_manager/sm?productId=SAS-3405&dn=Adaptec+RAID+3405, and I do not find any Adaptec Storage Manager software for ubuntu. It seems it has the arcconf utility to do the health check of RAID. But as I see, it has inbuilt SMART support. Hence when I run SMART on my ubuntu machine it fails as below :

{{{
# smartctl -a /dev/sda -T permissive
smartctl 5.40 2010-10-16 r3189 [x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu] (local build)
Copyright (C) 2002-10 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net

Device: Adaptec Array 0 Version: V1.0
scsiModePageOffset: response length too short, resp_len=4 offset=4 bd_len=0
>> Terminate command early due to bad response to IEC mode page

Error Counter logging not supported
scsiModePageOffset: response length too short, resp_len=4 offset=4 bd_len=0
Device does not support Self Test logging
}}}

I have tried to specify scsi and sat as device types for the utility, but it fails.

The only command that ever ran is “smartctl -H /dev/sda”.
Smartd just doesn’t budge either.

Could you tell me how to proceed.
Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Shiny

what exactly the following line tell us.
Time remaining (at current draw) : 5 days, 13 hours, 19 minutes

Is there any min value for this.

I think Dilip is looking for automated way of checking (meaning, he probably doesn't want to read all those lines arcconf reports back). Maybe this link could help ...

arcconf is included with the Adaptec Storage Manager download and is installed in /usr/StorMan/arcconf as described above.

is it software or hardware raid array? For Adaptec use above command. Read help page for more info.
