Until quite recently there was a package, palimpsest, which was used to
graphically view the layout of the drives on the system, making it easy to see
RAID, and volume groups, etc, and view the health of the individual drives using
SMART data. Later this was renames gnome-system-disk (is this a fork, or did
GNOME just grab it as their own?) but was sill available.
I never fould the action items in the program all that useful, I prefer to use
other tools to creat RAID arrays, play with LVM, etc, but the tool was really
useful to visualize complex storage setups, particularly if you are going into a
system you didn't set up, or did so long ago. What's the tool which replaces
this? This should be maintained by Redhat as a system tool, since I can't find
anything in RHEL7 which seems to provide the information, and I am considering
upgrading a server farm, with at most any two servers alike. They bought what
IBM told them was the best buy, some have hardware RAID, some software RAID,
some whatever dm sets up.
There must be some visualization tool, right?
