Monitoring RAID Devices

If a RAID array that belongs to an Xsan volume becomes damaged and unrecoverable
due to a failed disk drive or other hardware failure, the data on the volume could be
lost. To avoid this possibility, regularly check the state of your RAID hardware.

Your RAID system management software might be able to notify you when the state
of a drive module or array changes. See the documentation that came with your
RAID system.
