if one needs detailed web gui based information about the HP RAID P410i, follow this guide to install the needed software.

the question is, can one get RAID status from command line?

yes but one needs to manually download and install:

# find a failed drive
hpacucli ctrl slot=0 pd all show

Smart Array P410i in Slot 0 (Embedded)

   array A

      physicaldrive 1I:1:1 (port 1I:box 1:bay 1, SAS, 450 GB, OK)
      physicaldrive 1I:1:2 (port 1I:box 1:bay 2, SAS, 450 GB, OK)
      physicaldrive 1I:1:3 (port 1I:box 1:bay 3, SAS, 450 GB, Failed)
      physicaldrive 1I:1:4 (port 1I:box 1:bay 4, SAS, 450 GB, OK)


# make a drive blue led go on to identify where failed drive is located
hpacucli ctrl slot=0 pd 1I:1:3 modify led=on
hpacucli ctrl slot=0 pd 1I:1:3 modify led=off

# no need for server restart
# after drive was replaced rebuild should start in 20-30sec
hpacucli ctrl slot=0 pd all show

display power/watt usage

hpasmcli

hpasmcli is a scriptable command line interface for interacting with the hpasmd or hpasmxld management daemons. It is used to view/set/mod ify BIOS settings such as hyperthreading, boot control, and UID LEDs.

It can also be used to display hardware status, such as fans, power supplies, etc. The CLI supports TAB completion of command names and has a history buffer that can be accessed using the up/down arrows.
