I am trying to install the latest release (10.04) of Ubuntu server. Hardware is a brand new HP Proliant DL380 G6 with four SAS hard drives at 146 GB each. I want to run RAID5 or similar with one spare disk.
Enabling multipath features for the Installation partitions on SAN with HP Smart Array p700m controller is supported only on SLES 10 SP2/SLES 11 operating system and above. Refer to the.

Since linuxinstallations are not my best area of knowledge I got stuck.In a rack-mounted HP ProLiant DL380 G5 server, running Linux (RHEL - Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server - version 5.9, 64-bit): after a shutdown and power on, one of 4 hard disks of a Logical Drive using 'RAID 1+0' started 'Rebuilding'. I was able to check the status using hpacucli ('HP Array Configuration Utility CLI') After a few hours, the rebuild was completed successfully (the previously defective hard drive was 'physicaldrive 2I:1:2'):
My question is the following: is there a way to see the RAID events history / log of the RAID internal controller (a 'Smart Array P400')? I would like to be able to use 'hpacucli' for that, but I can't find any related command in the Hpacucli Utility for Linux - All Commands Guide
I may try to use other tools for this, if required (but notHP iLO - 'Integrated Lights-Out' because I don't have that access), preferably avoiding any reboot. I have checked '/var/log/messages' but I haven't found any seemingly related entries there.
ricmarquesricmarquesThe hplog -v
command will show you the system event log on servers that have the health management agents installed.
