LSI MegaRAID

This document provides an introduction and overview of the MegaCLI utility used to obtain information from and manage LSI MegaRaid controllers. It lists the most common MegaCLI commands, explains that MegaCLI can be used to view controller information and events, and notes that while originally called MegaCLI, it is now called StorCLI. It also provides prerequisites and instructions for downloading, installing, and accessing MegaCLI on different operating systems.

Introduction
This document provides a list of the most common commands needed when working with LSI
MegaRaid Controllers for the Unified Computing System (UCS).

MegaCLI is a utility used to obtain information from the LSI Raid Controller. MegaCLI can also be
used as a troubleshooting tool. Raid controller events at this point are not captured in the Cisco
Unified Computing System (UCS) System Event Logs (SEL) or Onboard Failure Logging (OBFL)
logs.

MegaCLI supports Windows, Linux, VMware, Solaris, DOS and Free BSD. You will need to unzip
the file after download and choose the proper install package based on the operating system (OS).
More information about install procedures, bug fixes, and supported raid controllers are in the
8.0.4.07_MegaCLI.txt file. This file is available once you have performed the initial unzip. Detailed
install procedures can be found in the read me file associated with each OS type. Download the
MegaCLI utility from LSI at this link:

Commands
MegaCLI64 AdpALLInfo a0

This command provides the Product Name, Serial Number, Firmware version, Manufacturing date,
Hardware Configuration, Settings, Capabilities, Limitations, Devices Present, Supported
Operations, Error Counters, and Default Settings:

MegaCLI64 AdpEventLog GetEvents a0 > eventlog

This command pulls all of the events and writes them to a file named event log:

MegaCli64 FwTermLog Dsply a0

This command displays the firmware log which includes environmental data, controller properties,
memory information, events, and information about the Battery Backup Unit (BBU) such as
physical properties, monitored information, capacity, and design information. The output also
provides event messages specific to the BBU.

MegaCli64 PDList a0

Displays information about all physical disk drives and other devices connected to the selected
adapter(s); includes drive type, size, serial number, and firmware version. For Serial Attached
SCSI (SAS) devices: includes SAS address. For SAS expanders: includes number of drives
connected to expander.

MegaCli64 PdLocate PhysDrv[E:S] a0 (enclosure device id, slot)

Illuminates the locator led on the drive:

MegaCli64 PdLocate stop PhysDrv[E:S] a0

Turns off the locator LED on the drive:

MegaCli64 AdpBbuCmd a0

Displays BBU firmware, charging, capacity and properties information:

MegaCli64 AdpBbuCmd GetBbuProperties a0

Displays auto learn information:

MegaCli64 AdpBbuCmd GetBbuStatus a0

Displays detailed charging status and gas gauge status:

/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli -AdpSetProp AlarmSilence -aALL

This will silence the raid controller beep tones.


Preboot CLI

If the customer cannot install the MegaCLI utility or it is not available for some other reason, you
can get to the Preboot CLI and run the same commands as shown above.

The only difference is that the commands begin in the Preboot CLI after the 'MegaCli64' above.

For example:

$LDGetProp -Cache -LALL -a0 (Cache policy on the VDs)

$FwTermLog –Dsply –a0 (redirect the output to file)

$AdpAllInfo –a0 (Gives LSI FW and RAID type info)

$AdpBbuCmd -GetBbuStatus –a0 (BBU Status info)
