Query an IBM ServeRAID adapter on the CLI
in Ubuntu
Comments
I quickly needed to determine the status of a RAID array that sat on an IBM ServeRAID adapter. The boxen was running Ubuntu 8.04 x86_32, I didnt want to install RaidManager nor did I want to install a debian package. Here’s how.
$ wget http://hwraid.le-vert.net/debian/pool-lenny/arcconf_6.10.18451-1_i386.deb
$ ar -x arcconf_6.10.18451-1_i386.deb
$ tar zxvf data.tar.gz
$ sudo ./usr/sbin/arcconf GETCONFIG 1
you may need to install binutils package to run “ar”
