Re: LSI MegaRAID system status -- SOLVED

Thanks to both of you who replied.

Mr. Vilensky's approach seemed easiest and his google powers
exceed mine.

The link he provided was the key.
http://www.monitoringexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=2416.html;d=1

The only issue for me was that the megarc URL has been
changed.  I found the package at:
http://www.lsi.com/DistributionSystem/AssetDocument/files/support/rsa/utilities/megaconf/ut_linux_megarc_1.11.zip

Problem solved.

Best to all,
Ray
