I’d like to monitor the disks connected to a ServeRaid-8k controller in a server running CentOS 7 such that I can know when one fails.
What’s the best way to do that?

It’s been a long time since I worked with ServeRaid, and things may have changed in the meantime.
IBM used to have a an iso with ServeRaid related tools (ibm_sw_srapp_…..) that included Linux versions of RaidMan. There were also command line tools like arcconf and hrconf that I used to write my own nagios plugins.
From a *really* short search, see it has a controller card If you do an lspci, what does that tell you – is it yet another rebranded LSI card? If so, MegaRAID.

Can’t say how up to date this is. https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=ibm1SERV-RAID

Google says that is an Adaptec card using the aacraid driver and the arcconf utility, see here: https://hwraid.le-vert.net/wiki/Adaptec
