Dell Open Manage has that built in.&nbsp; Since you don't have a GUI
installed, you should be able to install the Management Console on
another box and put the agent on the CentOS box.&nbsp; Experience with
the PERC (I have 7 years of experience with Dell Servers and SAN storage)
can tell you that there is rarely an issue.&nbsp; If you have hardware
RAID, my recommendation if to add another harddrive and make the third
drive a hot spare.<br><br>

Thanks everyone. That clears it up. Since I am using hardware raid, I
can't monitor it from the GUI/Active Monitor. I'm off to look for
hardware raid monitoring solutions. Don't suppose anyone knows of a
solution off-hand that will work?<br><br>
Thanks again.<br><br>
