I just found out one of my servers are reporting hard drive error but I'm having problems extracting the information I want.

I've downloaded Acronis Drive Monitor so I could see hard drive health and serial numbers, but it only shows the raid controller and not the drives.

Any clues?

Since you are using a Dell PERC controller, you should also use the appropriate tool for managing it - Dell provides the OpenManage Server Administrator Storage Management for exactly this purpose. It will help you identify and replace the failed disk of your array.

Brilliant, thank you, I'll give it a try – Lars Feb 24 '12 at 13:24
Of course it's not installed, but I trust you it's the right way to go, thanks. – Lars Feb 24 '12 at 13:33
