Does anyone have/know of a VB script that can tell me the size and
number of drives that make up a RAID configuration using VBS?

-TIA-

The following may help:

From: http://www.activexperts.dk/support/activmonitor/

Q: I have a RAID configuration (RAID5). I want to get a notification when
one of the disks fails, but can't find how to configure it in Network
Monitor. Please help.

A: The operating system has access to RAID set as it were one physical
drive. So, it is not a simple matter of checking a disk.
A failure of a disk in a RAID can only be determined by the manufacturer's
hardware driver or management software. So there are basically two options
to check such a failure:
a.. Event Log - most manufacturer's driver software generate an event in
the Event Log. For instance, Compaq Insight Manager generates an event in
the Event Viewer's System Log when there's a problem with a disk. Let
ActiveXperts Network Monitor scan the Event Log for such events;
b.. VBScript - some manufacturers ship their RAID software with an ActiveX
COM/OLE object. You can use this object in a Network Monitor VBScript check.

Thanks thats what i though. Hopfuly with Vista, they have fixed this
issue of the OS not being able to see the individual drives inside of a
hardware raid partition
