Managing PERC H700 from Debian Linux
So, I've got a new server dell poweredge r510 and it has shiny new raid controller perc h700.
I added 12 hard drives to this controller, configured 10 of them as raid 6 and 2 as hot spares. So far so good.
I installed Debian on it, so far so good as well.
But now I'm testing this thing, so I removed 1 disk from the server and can't find how check physical disks state.
I installed http://linux.dell.com/repo/community/deb/latest/ and now command:
/opt/dell/srvadmin/bin/omreport storage pdisk controller=0
shows that disk which I gruesomely hot-removed is still there and working.

I upgraded firmware, but not without problems.
I could't upgrade from 64-bit debian, so I burnt http://linux.dell.com/files/openmanage-contributions/omsa-64-live/ and tried to upgrade from it.
Now, firmwares behaved like this:
Neither /opt/dell/srvadmin/bin/omreport nor web management tool show me correct raid status than I started to hot-remove disks to test it.
Now, I wound a solution, it's ti use MegaCli util from LSI, it works just fine and shous disk status as it is.
For example, all disk status are available like this:
./MegaCli64 -PDList -a0 | grep Firmware
And you can watch progress of rebuilding individual disk like this:
./MegaCli64 -PDRbld -ShowProg -PhysDrv [32:8] -aALL
It seems to work fine now.
