Add deb ftp://ftp.sara.nl/pub/sara-omsa dell sara to /etc/apt/ sources.list and apt-get install dellomsa. This will get you the Dell monitoringtools; the omreport-tool will get you all sorts of info on the raidcontroller:

omreport Reports component properties.

The available command(s) are:

Command          Description
adisk            Display array disk(s) properties. DEPRECATED: please  
use pdisk
pdisk            Display physical disk(s) properties.
vdisk            Display virtual disk(s) properties.
controller       Display controller(s) properties.
enclosure        Display enclosure properties.
channel          Display channel properties. DEPRECATED: please use  
connector
battery          Display battery properties.
globalinfo       Display global storage properties.
connector        Display connector properties.

Apart from that omreport will also give you information on fan speeds, temperature, installed hardware, etc. It also installs an SNMP agent that allows you to monitor RAID status, fan speeds, temperature, etc via SNMP. The SNMP agent is disabled by default, but is easy to setup. We use this both for monitoring and to graph fan speeds and temperature with cacit.
