I have a Mirrored Dynamic disk on my Windows 2003 Server. How do you monitor the health of the volume?

Is there a way to have the server send an email when there is an issue with the volume? Is there a way to have the server run S.M.A.R.T. tests?

EDIT: Nothing says WTF like logging into a client server, running DISKPART LIST VOLUME and seeing this.

Volume ###  Ltr  Label        Fs     Type        Size     Status     Info
----------  ---  -----------  -----  ----------  -------  ---------  --------
Volume 0     X   xDrive       NTFS   Mirror       233 GB  Failed Rd

Volume 2     D                       DVD-ROM         0 B  Healthy
