There is an adaptec raiodctl package (I think that is the name). I recently retired my last 2100s so I no longer can go check it. However, there is a freebsd program that can be used to report on and manage your raid on a 2100s. Google frebsd and adaptec 2100s Besides being able to run it at will, I also had a cron job that would run it periodically and email me the results. (I also do that with my amr devices and my aac devices with the appropriate raid management programs).
