I have an IBM x3620 M3 server that has

root@web26:~# lshw -short
/0/100/9/0 scsi4 storage LSI MegaSAS 9260
/0/100/9/0/2.0.0 /dev/sda disk 1990GB ServeRAID M5015

hardware raid controller.

How do I view the RAID array status, SMART status and issue rebuild commands from Ubuntu for it?

PS.

root@web26:~# modinfo mptctl

You'll need to install the MegaCLI package from LSI. The UI is rather complicated; you would do well to look around the web for cheat sheets and summaries.

That did it, thank you @justarobert. Here are the detailed instructions for the future:

# cat /etc/issue

Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS \n \l

install two packages:

#apt-get install unzip rpm2cpio

unzip everything 

#unzip 8.00.46_Linux_MegaCLI.zip
#unzip -d MegaCliLin MegaCliLin.zip
#unzip -d 8.00.46_Linux_MegaCLI 8.00.46_Linux_MegaCLI.zip

unpack RPMs (make sure you are in the right directory) 

#rpm2cpio MegaCli-8.00.46-1.i386.rpm | cpio -idmv
#rpm2cpio Lib_Utils-1.00-08.noarch.rpm | cpio -idmv

(libsysfs.so.2.0.2 is required library, it comes from LSI in Lib_Utils-1.00-08.noarch.rpm, apt-get install libsysfs did not do it for me):

#cp opt/lsi/3rdpartylibs/x86_64/libsysfs.so.2.0.2 /usr/lib64/
#cp ./opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64  /usr/local/sbin/
#ln -s /usr/local/sbin/MegaCli64 /usr/local/sbin/MegaCli

and voila, check RAID!

#  MegaCli -LDInfo -Lall -aALL

An update for the latest MegaCLI:

Get your packages. For example, the MegaRAID SAS9280-16i4e:

http://www.lsi.com/products/storagecomponents/Pages/MegaRAIDSAS9280-16i4e.aspx
-> Support & Downloads -> Management Tools

Install two packages:

  #sudo apt-get install unzip rpm2cpio
or
  #sudo apt-get install unzip alien #...overkill, but some nice utils

Unzip everything:

#cd to/your/dir/containing/8.02.16_MegaCLI
#unzip -d 8.02.16_Linux_MegaCLI 8.02.16_Linux_MegaCLI.zip
#cd 8.02.16_Linux_MegaCLI/LINUX
#unzip -d MegaCliLin MegaCliLin.zip

Unpack RPMs:

#cd MegaCliLin
#rpm2cpio MegaCli-8.02.16-1.i386.rpm | cpio -idmv

The library libsysfs.so.2.0.2 is "required". However, you may alternately use a native Ubuntu version with a soft link to fake out MegaCli:

  #rpm2cpio Lib_Utils-1.00-09.noarch.rpm | cpio -idmv
  #sudo cp opt/lsi/3rdpartylibs/x86_64/libsysfs.so.2.0.2 /usr/lib64/
or
  #sudo apt-get install libsysfs
  #locate libsysfs #...to get the proper filename
  #sudo ln -s /lib/libsysfs.so.2.0.1 /usr/lib64/libsysfs.so.2.0.2

#sudo cp opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 /usr/local/sbin/
#sudo ln -s /usr/local/sbin/MegaCli64 /usr/local/sbin/MegaCli

Check it, yo!

#sudo MegaCli -AdpAllInfo -aALL
#sudo MegaCli -LDInfo -Lall -aALL
#sudo MegaCli -PDList -aALL

  • Worked on Ubuntu 10.04. The zip file seems to be named 8.02.16_MegaCLI.zip, and the libsysfs package name is libsysfs2. – jarnoan Jan 02 '12 at 09:50
