I got an IBM x3550 M3 server, with 6x 300GB SAS HDD installed, running in RAID10. Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS is installed. For RAID card, I'm using ServeRAID M5014.

If a HDD is replaced, how can I know the RAID rebuild status?

  • For software RAID, you can check the status with `cat /proc/mdstat/`. I don't know if that will work for hardware raid cards though. – Nick Feb 09 '12 at 07:33

i forgot if it's working or not on your case, but i ever use it (using different raid card). use MegaCLI util to show your raid status http://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-5073015

  • MegaCLI is RedHat only. Any solution suitable for Ubuntu ? – Raptor Feb 09 '12 at 12:11
  • i see, it's rpm. may be you try using alien to convert rpm to deb ? http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/install-an-rpm-package-on-ubuntu-linux/. or use this http://hwraid.le-vert.net/wiki/DebianPackages hope that all work – chocripple Feb 10 '12 at 01:10
  • I used `alien` to convert to `deb`, but errors occurred. See: http://pastebin.com/saTCZkhM – Raptor Feb 10 '12 at 03:52
  • how about hwraid.le-vert.net/wiki/DebianPackages ?, it's debian package and seem support for megacli. – chocripple Feb 10 '12 at 04:10
  • test in progress. will update very soon. – Raptor Feb 10 '12 at 06:31
