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.
