How do I install the LSI megacli in Ubuntu?
Its returning empty because you are running the executable without the libraries.
To install it correctly go the the LSI download site and search for megacli
.
Download the latest version (release 8.07):
Extract it via a gui or with the command unzip MegaCli_Linux.zip
.
Install the extracted .deb file with dpkg -i megacli_8.07.08-1_all.deb
or just double click the deb file if you are running a desktop.
Follow these steps:
download MegaCLI package for Ubuntu:
wget http://hwraid.le-vert.net/debian/pool-stretch/megacli/megacli_8.07.14-2%2BDebian.stretch.9.9_amd64.deb
install MegaCLI in your system:
dpkg -i megacli_8.07.14-2%2BDebian.stretch.9.9_amd64.deb
update your repositories:
apt-get update
check info about your RAID controller:
megacli -LDInfo -LAll -aAll
storcli64
, referenced in this serverfault answer worked for me:
$ sudo storcli64 /c0/d0 show
Controller = 0
Status = Success
Description = Show Diskgroup Succeeded
