I'm running FreeBSD 6.1 on a Compaq Proliant and a Dell PowerEdge 1800.
They have hardware raid 1 arrays controlled respectively by a Compaq Smart 
Array 532
controller and PERC 4/SC.

Here is the relevant dmesg output on the Proliant:
ciss0: <Compaq Smart Array 532> port 0x4000-0x40ff mem 
0xf7fc0000-0xf7ffffff,0xf7ef0000-0xf7ef3fff irq 24 at device 3.0 on pci7
[snip]
da0 at ciss0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: <COMPAQ RAID 1  VOLUME OK> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device
da0: 135.168MB/s transfers
da0: 34727MB (71122560 512 byte sectors: 255H 32S/T 8716C)

Here is the relevant dmesg output on the PowerEdge:
amr0: <LSILogic MegaRAID 1.53> mem 0xf80f0000-0xf80fffff irq 37 at device 
5.0 on pci2
amr0: delete logical drives supported by controller
amr0: <LSILogic PERC 4/SC> Firmware 351S, BIOS 1.10, 64MB RAM
[snip]
amr0: delete logical drives supported by controller
amrd0: <LSILogic MegaRAID logical drive> on amr0
amrd0: 139900MB (286515200 sectors) RAID 1 (optimal)

What are my options to monitor the status of these arrays?

Best regards,
Thierry.
