Thread: Intel/LSI Raid Monitor

hi

have ubuntu server x64 (10.04) running fog imaging
installed on intel server board (1 ru rackmount)

configured raid in intekl based bios utility
looks similar this

ubuntu installed , runs perfectly. im unable monitor status of drives os, im unaware of drive failures may occur


manged install megacli returns blank data (along exit code: 0x00)
iv tryed megactl wich says

code:

unable open device /dev/megadev0: no such file or directory

1 of colleagues had used server raid on board
intel site makes mention of intel using lsi products in raid controllers

relevant section of dmidecode:

code:

handle 0x0002, dmi type 2, 8 bytes  base board information  	manufacturer: intel  	product name: se7520jr22d  	version: fru ver 0.01  	serial number: bzjr51325205

and lspci

code:

02:03.0 raid bus controller: lsi logic / symbios logic megaraid (rev 01)  	subsystem: intel corporation device 0523  	control: i/o- mem+ busmaster+ speccycle- memwinv+ vgasnoop- parerr+ stepping- serr+ fastb2b- disintx-  	status: cap+ 66mhz+ udf- fastb2b+ parerr- devsel=slow >tabort- <tabort- <mabort- >serr- <perr- intx-  	latency: 64, cache line size: 64 bytes  	interrupt: pin routed irq 24  	region 0: memory @ ddff0000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64k]  	expansion rom @ de7f0000 [disabled] [size=64k]  	capabilities: [80] power management version 2  		flags: pmeclk- dsi- d1- d2- auxcurrent=0ma pme(d0-,d1-,d2-,d3hot-,d3cold-)  		status: d0 pme-enable- dsel=0 dscale=0 pme-  	kernel driver in use: megaraid  	kernel modules: megaraid_mbox

any ideas of how monitor this?

maybe lsi megacli working - can found somewhere on lsi.com

code:

>megacli -ldinfo -lall -aall  adapter 0 -- virtual drive information: virtual drive: 0 (target id: 0) name                : raid level          : primary-5, secondary-0, raid level qualifier-3 size                : 5.454 tb state               : optimal strip size          : 128 kb number of drives    : 4 span depth          : 1 default cache policy: writeback, readaheadnone, direct, no write cache if bad bbu current cache policy: writeback, readaheadnone, direct, no write cache if bad bbu access policy       : read/write disk cache policy   : disabled encryption type     : none    exit code: 0x00

look @ state should indicate health of raid
