Requirements and General Information

DELL’s PowerEdge RAID Controller (PERC) is a special LSI Logic SAS/SATA RAID Controller and thus the LSI management utility called MegaCli also works for this controller. For older controllers like PERC4 and PERC3 please refer to http://linux.dell.com/storage.shtml (keyword DellMgr).

MegaCli is available for Linux, DOS, Windows, Netware and Solaris.
You can get it from LSI’s website (search for MegaRAID SAS) or download it here: http://www.lsi.com/support/downloads/megaraid/miscellaneous/linux/1.01.40_Linux_Cli.zip.

Inside the ZIP file you’ll find an RPM archive which contains the MegaCli and MegaCli64 binaries (will be installed to /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli).
