Dell Server MEGACLI command returns only exit code:0x00 problem analysis

Today, my colleague told me that a Dell server did raid, using MEGACLI not to see the raid information, went up to see it did not return any raid information, but did raid on the machine.

This is strange, and then the MEGACLI upgrade to the latest version, or the same results

The company is basically a Dell-series server, the raid information of the previous machine was MEGACLI obtained, which is a bit strange. Because of the previous RAID card version caused by other issues, so this time also suspected is not the raid card version caused by the problem, so want to see the System RAID card version information

Did not find the raid information, but looked at the SCSI controller information, according to sas1068e on the internet to find out that sas1068e RAID card is SAS 6i/r.

Why SAS 6I/R RAID information is not available with the MegaCli64 command, SAS 6/ir only supports 2 hard drives for RAID0 or RAID1. Now go back to see the MegaCli64 tool, the MegaCli64 tool is very useful, many features, not only can view the RAID card information, but also can set the raid card, but it does not support the SAS 6/ir RAID card, Dell's many 1U models of the server default RAID controller are SAS 6I/R, and for this controller MegaCli64 is not available. So why does MegaCli64 not support SAS 6i/r, because MEGACLI is designed for the PERC controller (it uses a familiar megaraid driver), but the SAS 6I/R controller is for the mpt* type of driver, Therefore, the RAID information is not MegaCli64. However, if you want to manage SAS 6i/r in command line mode, you can use the Lsiutil tool.

After the decompression to see the supported system is still pretty much AH

I am a Linux 64-bit system, in the Linux directory directly copied lsiutil.x86_64 to the target machine, modified to executable permissions. Let's see how lsiutil.x86_64 is used, lsiutil.x86_64 has two modes, one is interactive and the other is command line mode:

lsiutil.x86_64 Interactive

lsiutil.x86_64 Command-line

You can see that lsiutil.x86_64 is also able to view raid information. The help documentation is as follows:

If you are a debian/ubuntu system, you can download the appropriate Deb package

' Http://hwraid.le-vert.net/debian/pool-wheezy/lsiutil_1.60-1_amd64.deb ' dpkg-i lsiutil_1. 60-1_amd64.deb
