We will show you how to check your adaptec hardware raid „health“ status in CentOS 6.7 linux distribution.First, we have to download arcconf utility.

Make sure you have Adaptec hardware raid.

[root@xenhost ~]# lspci | grep -i raid
04:00.0 RAID bus controller: Adaptec AAC-RAID (rev 09)


Download the package.

wget http://download.adaptec.com/raid/storage_manager/asm_linux_x64_v6_50_18579.tgz
tar zxvf asm_linux_x64_v6_50_18579.tgz
cd manager/
rpm -ivh StorMan-6.50.x86_64.rpm
