Hello,

]# cat /etc/redhat-release

SMART Health Status: OK

============================

Was wondering why this won't work:
#for i in `seq 0 127`; do echo -ne $i; smartctl -a -d megaraid,$i /dev/sda;
done;

Is there any other tool to monitor my server health ?

Appreciate any further thoughts on this.

Regards,
Irshad
