[hobbit] software raid windows

[Shea, Graeme A]

You could use diskpart as the basis of a script. At a command prompt
type diskpart and then help to get a list of commands. Use the list disk
command to list your disks and then select disk <num> to select it. If
you want the status of a partition then you will have to select that as
well. The command detail will give you the disk (or partition) status
and if it is part of software raid.

To use as a basis of the scripting you could use the ping test from
deadcat or the dcdiags script I put on the shire.

There are also some scripts (I wrote some and you are welcome to them)
that query the event log. You could keep modify one of them to bring up
an alarm when ever certain events occur. 

http://www.mail-archive.com/nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg20038.
html gives an example of using Logparser to scan the event log for
Nagios.


As Raymond suggested WMI will give you some info. PrimalScript gives the
follow as an example of querying the disks, the status result may give
you what you need.

If you have just partitions mirrored then the following does the same
thing for the partitions
