Thanks for the reply, I tried both, seems not working,

on Solaris ,
/ #uname -a
SunOS Hostname 5.10 Generic_118844-26 i86pc i386 i86pc
/ #raidctl
No RAID volumes found
/ #

on Windows 2003, I unplugged one of the 2 hard disks, windows was
still working, which is good, but the problem is no event log shown in
'event viewer' about a failed disk.

Thanks

Clay
