{bb} bb-raid-1_0.sh

[Butch Deal <butch@BlackMagic.com>]

hello all:

Dan has worked up a script to test software and hardware (megaraid) on Linux systems.  This test should replace megaraid.sh and others for usability.
here is some info from the script:

# BIG BROTHER - Monitor the RAID status
#
# Author: Daniel Gomez (dgomez@tigr.org,daniel@ixplosive.com), 
#         Richard Deal (rdeal@tigr.org)
#
# Notes:
# This extension is intended to provide a framwork for a comprehensive RAID 
# reporting tool. Currently the RAID technologies covered include:
#  - Dell Megaraid hardware SCSI raid controller through the MEGARC PERC/CERC
#    Configuration Utility by LSI
#  - Linux Software RAID (raidtools implimentation)
#
# MEGARC --------------------------------------------------------------------  
#    The target operating systems were Red Hat 7.3 and Suse 9.1. There are 
# several packages that one can use from 3rd-party sources and from
# Dell to assist in reporting the status of the Megaraid hardware, including
# a pre-existing BB extension called "bb-megaserv.sh". That package has it's 
# advantages, but the advantage leveraged in this extenstion is simplicity.
# 
# Instead of installing a running daemon, kernel modules or setting SNMP traps,
# the 'megarc' command is simply executed and its output analyzed. The megarc
# program is found by searching at http://support.dell.com for "megaraid-util".
# At the present time, there were only three found:
#  - megaraid-util-rh8.0-i386.tar.gz (This script is based on this package).
#  - megaraid-util-rh7.3-i386.tar.gz 
#  - megaraid-util-rh7.1.tar.gz 
#
# Here are the specs on the program within the provided tarball:
# > rpm -qilp megarc-1.07-1.i386.rpm
# Name        : megarc                     Relocations: (not relocatation utility# Description :
# Dell PowerEdge RAID controller configuration utility for Red Hat Linux 8.0.
# This tool supports PERC4/Di, PERC 2/SC, PERC 2/DC, PERC 3/DC, PERC 3/DCL, 
# and PERC 3/QC. megaraid driver must be loaded in order to run this tool.
# Distribution: (none)
# /usr/sbin/megarc
# /usr/sbin/megarc.bin
