| | 63 | === 3.1.2. My opinion about mpt-status === |
| | 64 | |
| | 65 | Despite it seems that no real upstream development exists for this tool, it works fine and is reliable. |
| | 66 | [[BR]]We experienced several disks failure on MPT SAS controllers and mpt-status always reported the failure and status changes. [[BR]]However don't expected verbose output. |
| | 67 | |
| | 68 | === 3.1.3. Reporting with mpt-status === |
| | 69 | |
| | 70 | ''mpt-status'' has been greatly integrated to Debian by Petter Reinholdtsen and Steffen Joeris. |
| | 71 | [[BR]]Many thanks to them for good work ! |

| | 73 | The packages comes with an initscript that periodic run mpt-status to check status. |
| | 74 | [[BR]]It keeps a file with latest status and thus is able to detect RAID status changes and/or brokeness. |
| | 75 | [[BR]]It will log a ligne to syslog when something failed and will send you a mail. |
| | 76 | [[BR]]Until arrays are healthy again a reminder will be sent each 2 hours. |
| | 77 | |
| | 78 | In fact, I must admit all my ''"something-status"'' packages for others kind of cards are based on this work. |
