Step 1: Seems like LSI was taken over by another company. Finding it was a bit harder, but here is the latest version of the software. (as at 14 October 2015)
Step 2: Copy the file to an appropriate location on your Linux machine. In this case, we will use /var/tmp/
Step 3: Execute the following commands (in the exact order)
# Log in as 'root' user or use 'sudo' to execute the following commands [root@rhel_host ~] cd /var/tmp [root@rhel_host tmp] unzip 8-07-14_MegaCLI.zip [root@rhel_host tmp] cd Linux [root@rhel_host Linux] rpm -Uvh MegaCli-8.07.14-1.noarch.rpm ....wait for installer to finish.... [root@rhel_host Linux] alias MegaCli="/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64"
Step 4: Make the alias command, above, permanent
# Navigate to your home directory [root@rhel_host MegaCLI_Linux] cd ~ # Open your .bashrc file and add the following line [root@rhel_host ~] vim .bashrc alias MegaCli='/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64'
Step 5: Test the install. As an example, let’s list all the logical volumes in the machine (output may differ based on configuration.
