Re: [foxboro] How can I get the status of a RAID drive on a 51D?

Are the external Raid units from Foxboro ?  If so, then they definitely do 
not use Solaris Online DiskSuite product.  Each RAID vendor does it 
differently but most require the use of a serial port cable to
talk to command central of the RAID box.  Is there a spare
port on your AW-51 ? You may be able to use a HyperTerm program
thru /dev/ttyb  If not being used by GCIO or local printer.
