# Monitor hardware RAID controllers

The command-line utilities managing the RAID controllers need to be manually downloaded and then uploaded to the charm via the `juju attach-resource` command (except for SSACLI which is automatically downloaded).

You can use the command-line utilities provided by the resource as mentioned in the [Resources](https://charmhub.io/hardware-observer/resources) page.

For example, to add the “perccli-deb” resource to the charm:

1. Go to the [Resources](https://charmhub.io/hardware-observer/resources) page, and find the name of the tool along with the URL where it can be downloaded from the manufacturer’s site.
2. Download the binary tool in x86\_64 linux architecture.
3. (Optional) Unzip and extract the content from the file obtained in the previous step.
4. Attach the resource to the charm with

   ```
   juju attach-resource hardware-observer perccli-deb=<path-to-resource>
   ```

Other resources can be added similarly.
