How can I check the rebuild status of a RAID volume without booting into the PERC utility in CentOS via the command-line?

    Probably some magic incantation [using the MegaCLI command](http://hwraid.le-vert.net/wiki/LSIMegaRAIDSAS). – ewwhite Apr 04 '14 at 13:37
  • PERC controllers are usually LSI devices, so MegaCLI will work for your PowerEdge R710. – ewwhite Apr 04 '14 at 13:42

I found I could check the status with MegaCli as ewwhite mentioned:

MegaCli64 -PDRbld -ShowProg -PhysDrv [CONTROLLER:DRIVE] -aAll

If you have Dell's OpenManage software installed, you can also use omreport storage vdisk to provide a summary of all virtual disks (which should include rebuild progress).

Technically megaCLI isn't considered a "supported" tool by Dell (even though I think it's probably what's being used on the back-end by OMSA), but it's still a VERY useful tool when dealing w/ PERC controllers.
