how to check status of RAID?

[mrPsycho]

Hello!

Is it even possible?

[mrPsycho]

so, i tried to install https://drivers.amd.com/drivers/raidxpert2_linux_8_01_00_070.zip

but it doesn't seem to work on latest Ubuntu.
So there are 2 things - or i did mistake, or it requeres something very old.

I'm not sure what you mean by "checking status". If webbrowser thing, then it never worked for me (Manjaro).
However AFAIR during raidexpert2 install rcadm was installed also, and it still works for me (partially). For example:
rcadm -M -qa
Displays all disks and arrays.
But it works only until I mount arrays, after that it oops. However my arrays are encrypted, so maybe this is the reason.

@misiektw thank you for attention.
problem is to install this "rcadm" on ubuntu 20.04.

i download, unzip and tried to install - but it is failing.

As I remember (it was in 2017 so...) it was Java installer, that put everything in /opt/raidexpert2 folder.
So if its not working for you under 20.04 then just spin up 16.04 VM, install it in it and then just copy rcadm to /usr/bin. Its pretty much statically linked, with some common dynamic libs. However you need 32-bit arch support probably:

$ ldd /usr/bin/rcadm 
	linux-gate.so.1 (0xf7f5f000)
	libdl.so.2 => /usr/lib32/libdl.so.2 (0xf7f15000)
	librt.so.1 => /usr/lib32/librt.so.1 (0xf7f0a000)
	libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.6 (0xf7d39000)
	libm.so.6 => /usr/lib32/libm.so.6 (0xf7c6b000)
	libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib32/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xf7c4d000)
	libc.so.6 => /usr/lib32/libc.so.6 (0xf7a55000)
	/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /usr/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7f60000)
	libpthread.so.0 => /usr/lib32/libpthread.so.0 (0xf7a33000)
