Does anyone have any suggestions how I might programmatically detect if an
AutoRAID (12H) was installed on a particular HP3000.

We have multiple HP3000s with different hardware configurations. Right now
only one has an AutoRAID 12H. For ease of maintenance we try to keep all our
start-up jobs and procedures identical between machines. We try to have the
start-up jobs detect the actual conditions of the machine before starting
machine specific procedures.

The Array Manager daemon (ARMSRVD) and syslog daemon (SYSLOGD) only need to
be running on machines with an AutoRAID. I want to detect from inside a
program whether an AutoRAID is installed. Only when an AutoRAID is detected
would ARMSRVD and SYSLOGD be started.

One possible item to detect are the device link files for the AutoRAID. But
I have not yet been able to figure out what these files are named or where
they are located. Does anyone know this? Any other ideas how to detect an
AutoRAID?
