Yet another way to check state of your physical disks and your logical units of your 3ware RAID card
How to use :


1 to use this script you have to install firt tw_cli. You can find the source here : http://www.3ware.com/support/download.asp just follow the instructions to compile and deploy it
2 then you just have to run the following command :
$ ./check_3ware-raid.pl --help

If you need to use this script with NRPE you just have to do the following steps :

1 allow your user to run the script with the sudo rights. Just add
something like that in your /etc/sudoers (use visudo) :
nagios ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: //check_3ware-raid.pl
2 then just add this kind of line in your NRPE config file :
command[check_3ware]=/usr/bin/sudo //check_3ware-raid.pl

3 don't forget to restart your NRPE daemon



Examples :

# ./check_3ware-raid.pl -P /usr/sbin/tw_cli -a unit_check -p -v -m
DEBUG : action : unit_check, path-tw_cli : /usr/sbin/tw_cli
DEBUG : check if /usr/sbin/tw_cli exists and is executable
DEBUG : warning threshold : 1, critical threshold : 2
DEBUG : controller :
DEBUG : action = unit_check
DEBUG : disk u0/type RAID-1/status OK
DEBUG : disk u1/type RAID-1/status OK
DEBUG : disk u2/type SPARE/status OK
CHECK 3ware RAID - unit_check - OK - 3 unit(s) detected as OK - (u0,RAID-1,OK) (u1,RAID-1,OK) (u2,SPARE,OK) | unitOK=3 unitREBUILD=0 unitNOK=0

Got this plugin working on our Windows Server 2008 R2 with 3ware LSI 9750-4i, NSClient++, Strawberry Perl, and tw_cli.exe.
1. Install/save tw_cli.exe to C:\CLI\
2. Save check_3ware-raid.pl to C:\CLI\
3. Open check_3ware-raid.pl with notepad
4. Change:
my $tw_cli_path = '/usr/sbin/tw_cli';
to:
my $tw_cli_path = 'C:\CLI\tw_cli.exe';

5. Install strawberry perl on Windows.
6. Install NSCLient++ on Windows.


7. Go to the NSCLient++ installion directory (C:\\NSCLient++).
On nsclient.ini change/add the following:
CheckExternalScripts = 1

[CheckExternalScripts]
allow arguments=1

[/settings/external scripts/scripts]
check_3ware=C:\\strawberry\\perl\\bin\\perl.exe C:\\CLI\\check_3ware-raid.pl

8. Restart NSClient.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

9. On your nagios server in the command.cfg add the following:
# Ex. /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H 10.0.42.28 -c check_3ware
define command{
command_name check_3ware
command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_3ware
}

10. Add the following to your server.cfg file
# Check Windows2k8 3ware RAID
# /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H 10.0.42.28 -c check_3ware
define service{
use generic-service
host_name Windows2k8
service_description 3ware RAID
check_command check_3ware
}
