Monitoring LSI MegaRAID 320-1

Hello Folks!

I have several servers with LSI MegaRAID 320-1 controllers. What do
you all use to monitor the arrays? how is one supposed to know when
a drive dies, remotely? I found a utility MegaControl which does exactly
this, but it is buggy and causes my servers to malfunction and start
panicing left and right. I noticed that the array would be reinitialized in
background after installing MegaControl which made no sense since
the array was already %100 initialized. This would of course corrupt the
live system and was probably the cause of panics.

Any insights on this would be appreciated!

Thank you,
Simon
