FreeBSD Check The Health of Adaptec RAID Array

by

To check the health of an Adaptec RAID array on FreeBSD, you can use the arcconf command, which is included in the Adaptec Storage Manager software.

Here are the steps to check the health of an Adaptec RAID array on FreeBSD:

  1. Install the Adaptec Storage Manager software on the FreeBSD system. You can download the software from the Adaptec website.
  2. Once the software is installed, open a terminal or SSH session to the FreeBSD system.
  3. Type the following command to display a list of all the Adaptec RAID controllers on the system:
arcconf GETVERSION

This command displays a list of all the Adaptec RAID controllers on the system, along with their firmware version and driver version.

  1. Locate the controller that you want to check and note its controller ID. You will need this ID for the next step.
  2. Type the following command to display the status of the RAID array:
arcconf GETCONFIG <controller_id>

Replace <controller_id> with the ID of the controller that you want to check. This command displays detailed information about the RAID array, including its status, capacity, and health.

  1. If the RAID array is degraded or has failed, you can use the arcconf command to manage the array. Refer to the Adaptec Storage Manager documentation for more information on managing RAID arrays with arcconf.

That’s it! You have successfully checked the health of an Adaptec RAID array on FreeBSD using the arcconf command.
