I have a server with a Supermicro motherboard that has an nVidia RAID controller on board. When I boot up, I can hit F10 and see/modify the RAID settings.
However, I don't want to reboot this server in order to check the status of the RAID array. Is there any kind of Linux/Ubuntu server CLI program that will let me do that? Ideally, there be an equivalent of 3ware's tw_cli
program.
When installing Ubuntu, it recognized the RAID array as a single drive. I set it up without configuring software RAID. On the other hand, the lspci
command reports that I have 3 of the following (not one):
00:05.0 RAID bus controller: NVIDIA Corporation MCP55 SATA Controller (rev a3) (prog-if 85)

Furthermore the dmraid -s
command returns:

Noticeably absent from the result of dmraid
is my 3ware RAID card that is also in this server.
