Thanks, I'll give it a try!
I was just playing with varmon. It's OK. It seems to do the same set of things that I can do through the /proc/rd/c0/user_command interface. I can take drives offline, put them back online, make drives standby, do consistency checks.
But, I can't delete or create logical devices, I'm forced to do that through the Mylex BIOS during system boot.
I've not given a lot of thought to where those restrictions come from. Certainly part of the problem is a lack of specifications for Mylex.
It'd be really nice of global array manager could do these things.
I'll give it a try.
