Question about alarms when drives die inside hardware raid arrays

I've got a problem I'm trying to solve.

If a disk goes bad inside a raid configuration (assume HP or DELL Enterprise level linux hosts), where is that event captured?

I know if I manually go run hpacucli I can see the raid configuration. But I want a real time alarm. I'd prefer a trap.

Does this information get recorded into the IPMI System Event Log (SEL)? So if I were running ipmievd it would get logged via syslog. That's a start but I need to get it off the host as a SNMP trap, preferably through the OS provided SNMP daemon (not the hardware vendor supplied one).
