I'm in the process of getting a new server, and have been

I see from this thread:

That the PERC 6/i RAID controller seems to work fine with the
mfi(4) driver; I was planning on a 4 x 73GB RAID5 setup, so
the problems about addressing > 1TB don't seem to apply.
My straightforward question is just wondering about how you
get diagnostics from this device. My server will be in a
remote location, so I'm curious how I would even know if a
disk has failed. There wasn't anything about this in the
mfi(4) manpage, nor in the RAID section of the Handbook.
I've no experience of the 6/i but have a look at the results given by
cd /usr/ports
make search key=megaraid
The megarc util certainly worked on older LSI megaraid controllers and
I've used the linux megarc util on recent megaraid sas controllers
(MegaRAID SAS 8708ELP) under centos linux

My current server is in a 2 x 18GB RAID1 setup, but I pretty
much plugged it in and it Just Worked, and I never thought
about it any more; this time I'd like to know more about how
to manage it.
Thanks.
