Have two RAID controllers on an IBM server (X3500 M3) running Windows 2008R2:
- ServeRAID M5014SAS/SATA Controller
- LSI Adapter, SAS 3000 series, 4-port with 1064E
Can anyone explain how to get email alerts when a disk fails on either of these 2 IBM-provided controllers?
Can this be setup from within Windows 2008R2? I guess we would need to download appropriate monitoring software from IBM to do this … but I can't find the right software to download.

Install the IBM ServeRAID software; pretty certain there should be an option for email alerts in there. A step better is to do that, and also set up an IBM Director server for your environment, if you've got more than a handful of servers.
