It's difficult to get someone into the server farm, especially with Covid-19. Is there no way to get the information that you are looking for from FreeBSD? What are you trying to find out? Maybe I can figure it out. I do have sysutils/sysinfo installed if that helps. The controller is "HP Smart Array P440ar" if that helps. -- D'Arcy J.M.

That's the intented inline management for the raid controller. If you have any brand server you should use the corresponding management sw. Fortunately there is also ipmitools, however for the RAID card you'll need the specific utility. If you have access the ILO out-of-band management where you can check the raid/disk status, but that only shows the actual configuration.
