Hello,

after searching for the file (hte link above is dead!), I could test this tool with the MegaRAID 438 (HP NetRAID 3si) - and indeed it works perfectly! The options are a bit complicated, but it seems to be able to provide full management on CLI level which would make it an interesting options for scripts and an alternative to the megactl tool which refuses to work with the controller mentioned.

Currently, you can find the file here:

It produces really nice output - here is an examle of the state display of two RAID 1 devices:
