Now it's compatible with "Compaq Smart Array"  
( /proc/driver/cpqarray/ )


# HP Smart Array Hardware status plugin for Nagios
# ( With HP Array Configuration Utility CLI )
# Last Modified: 10-10-2005 - Revision: 1.2

Usage: check_cciss -N <controller_number> [-c] [-v | --
verbose] [-d | --debug]
Usage: check_cciss [-h | --help]
Usage: check_cciss [-V | --version]

 Usage: ./check_cciss -N <controller_number> [-c] [-v | --
verbose] [-d | --debug]

  default (without -c) = use /proc/driver/cciss/ ( HP Smart 
Array )
  -c                   = use /proc/driver/cpqarray/ ( Compaq Smart 
Array )
  -v                   = output status and informations about RAID
  -d                   = use for debug ( command line mode )

I would like to point out that this check could be expanded to 
provide similar support easily for older cpqarray drives such 
as the Compaq Smart Array 3200 controller (found in Compaq 
6500 machines for one). The same compaq cli utility supports 
these drives too.

However their status resides in /proc/driver/cpqarray/idax 
(with x being the number of the controller and not related to 
the slot in which it is, so first controller is ida0 no matter what 
slot it is in) instead of /proc/driver/cciss/ccissx as is 
hardcoded in check_cciss now.
