description: MegaCLI script to configure and monitor LSI raid cards.

Building on the shoulder of giants, I have added a little "autoconfiguration", pathing for the default Ubuntu package, and a couple small additions to their script to make dealing with an LSI RAID system a little easier.

I'm hoping by putting this out there to encourage further development and extensions to try and bring MegaCLI under control.

You can specify the MegaCLI path and enclosure by setting the following environment variables:

EnvVar Name	Default	Description
MEGACLI	/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 if detected, else /usr/sbin/megacli	Full path to MegaCLI binary
ENCLOSURE	Detected by lsi.sh	Enclosure number to scan

Environment

I'm working under an Ubuntu/Debian environment, but I think the only real change that anybody on any *nix would need make is in the MegaCli variable at the top of the file.

To get a proper scriptable package for Ubuntu and deployments, I followed the instructions here, from another very useful LSI MegaRAID resource.

An additional shout out to the useful RAID wiki on kernel.org for their information on MegaCli.
