[Nagiosplug-devel] Dell PERC 5/i mfi status? (nagios plugin)

[Brian A. Seklecki]

The reason it is being held:

    Too many recipients to the message

...6 recipients is too many?  Gee, I hope I never have to cross-post (or
God forbit, BCC:) >:}

Anyway...

Nicola, Arron, et al.:

Could you please send me the output of "megarc -dispCfg -a0" on a PE2850
or equiv.  Actually, any system that has either:

- Multiple logical volumes on a single PERC4i
- A PERC4i and a PERC4/d/c addon with multiple logical disks

I need to make sure the output format is not dissimilar from the FreeBSD
port of the utility.


TIA,
~BAS

PS: Also, if anyone has a working version of the PERC/5 CLI on Linux,
could you send any Man Pages, example output with the help flag and
functional examples so that I can start cooking up some regexp recipes?
