...ght out several times by competitors were drawn > down out of existence). I believe Broadcom now owns LSI. LSI killed the 3ware line soon after they bought it, so the MegaRAID line is it from them now. Seconded on the horrific LSI command line tools. Actually they have two tools, MegaCli and storcli. They're both horrible, storcli slightly less so. OTOH once you get your arrays configured you can forget about storcli (at least until a drive fails). There are Nagios plugins that can check the status of LSI controllers, arrays, and drives. The plugin is nice even if you don't use N...

Before the storcli tool came out, the only CLI tool for the LSI cards was MegaCli, and it was atrocious. In that case I can imagine the GUI being preferable (even though the GUI isn't very good either). Even the storcli tool isn't very good (as I've mentioned). I can completely understand someone pre...

I've got a box running C7, just updated (yesterday). It had an onboard RAID controller, and an HBA. I just installed a new, additional RAID card, all LSI. MegaCli64 only sees one controller. I can't seem to find the magic to see the others. I *know* the new card is a MegaRAID - the box it came in says so. The system sees it 1:00.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1078

...Just you wait till you get to the MegaRAID command line! It makes tw_cli seem like echo in comparison. I found the 3ware web interface too clunky for my purposes, so I forced myself to learn tw_cli. Once I used it regularly I found it to be mostly usable. I've yet to do this with megacli or storcli, and those are so much more complicated than tw_cli, so I haven't learned them very well yet. But (getting back a little to the original topic) getting to the 3ware web interface should not require root privileges on the client, since it's just the browser connecting to the 3ware http(s)...

I know for sure that LSI's storcli utility supports an identify operation, which (if the hardware all cooperates) causes the drive's light to blink.

I would try the newer storcli utility instead of megacli. Thanks, Scott Silverman | IT | Simplex | 312-360-2444 230 S.

Got a new box I'm trying to set up. I configured the RAID from the firmware, but "fast initialize" was sitting there at 0% (it's about 43 or 45TB). The first time I tried this, I said background, and rebooted the system. And the stupid annoying alarm started up as the system came up. This time, having *finally* figured out how to set up hot spares from the WebBIOS, I suspended

...th LSI/Avago/Broadcom and one completely fruitless round of chatting with HP, I found confirmation under the storage section here: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/mpc/workstations/product-detail.html?oid=5225041#!tab=specs It looks like HP didn't "request" MegaRAID support, so MegaCli and StorCli don't see anything and neither does lsiutils (nor hpacucli, tried just for a laugh). Any clues appreciated. Thanks for your time. Cheers, Zube
