dell perc 5/i - megaraid storage manager

[leondo]

Has anyone managed to install megaraid storage manager (it's a monitoring tool from lsi logic for their raid controllers) to ubuntu(any version)?

I have a dell perc 5/i (ubuntu 8.04) and I'm trying to install MegaCli and MegaRaid Storage Manager. MegaCli comes with rpm format, which I converted to deb using alien and installed successfully.

Now I'm trying to install MegaRaid Storage Manager which comes in a tar.gz. It contains a bunch of scripts and a bunch of rpms. Here is a ls :
deleteOldVersion.sh readme.txt
install.sh RunRPM.sh
libstdc++34-3.4.0-1.i386.rpm sas_ir_snmp-3.13-0005.i386.rpm
LSI-AdapterSASIR.mib sas_snmp-3.13-0004.i386.rpm
LSI-AdapterSAS.mib ServerInstall.sh
MegaRAID_Storage_Manager-2.35-01.noarch.rpm

I converted MegaRAID_Storage_Manager-2.35-01.noarch.rpm, sas_ir_snmp-3.13-0005.i386.rpm, sas_snmp-3.13-0004.i386.rpm successfully using alien, but I can't convert libstdc++34-3.4.0-1.i386.rpm successfully.
Any ideas??

Anyone?

Sorry I cant help with this, however maybe you can help me.. I am purchasing a handful of Dell 2950 series servers. They come with the perc 5/i or perc 6/i raid controller. After searching around the forums I have found a few instances of people saying they had a bit of trouble getting things working out of the box(this is ubuntu 6.06)

reference:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=226114&page=3

granted this was for a older version of ubuntu, and I will be installing 8.04 on these servers.. can you shed a bit more light on your current experience?

[honeydew]

btw.. libstdc is in the repositories.. if you install via apt-get/synaptic you should be able to point mega raid in the right direction during compilation

Yes of course I can help you..
Basically I don't have a dell server(2950 etc). I only have dell perc 5/i integrated controller. I purchased it so I can build my own nas server. I installed 8.04 server edition on my box. The card is properly recognized out of the box by the operating system(ubuntu), with the megaraid driver.

The problem is that I want to find a way to monitor the card, so I can do further operations(check consistency, patrol read, rebuild array, etc..). There are 4 options I found so far for monitoring the card, which are :

1)MegaCli : Command-line utility provided by Lsi Logic. I managed to convert the rpm that Lsi provides from their website to deb using alien and installed it successfully. However I didn't manage to make MegaCli see my card. I'm working on that..

2)MegaRAID Storage Manager: Application with gui provided by Lsi Logic. I didn't manage to install this succefully on ubuntu 8.04

3)Omsa: Monitoring tools from Dell for their servers. I installed these from some instructions I found on linux.dell.com, but it didn't helped me much

4)Megactl: Is an open source project for lsi's cards, similar to MegaCli, but with fewer options. I installed this successfully and I made it recognize my card. It works so far

But because I don't feel that comfortable with megactl(which the only I managed to work properly), I installed winxp on another partition just for the monitoring tools(MegaRAID Storage Manager)

Hope that helps :)


I installed both libstdc++6 and 5, but it didn't help

[jnusa]

Hi
I'm looking into buying a Dell Perc 5/i controller for nas, and I was wondering if the controller supports spindown (and maybe staggered spindown?), where the raid is powered off when inactive? I see, you have trouble controlling the controller from the OS - However I assume that BIOS setup is still possible with the unit?! Thanks in advance.

[limaxray]

So I just figured out how to get MegaRAID storage manager running on Hardy and it seems to work fairly well, so I figured I'd share what I did.

First, convert MegaRAID storage manager RPM to a deb package using alien. Make sure you include the script switch like so:

sudo apt-get install alien (if you don't already have it)
sudo alien --script MegaRAID_Storage_Manager-2.35-01.noarch.rpm

Next, install the resulting deb package using your preferred method.

sudo dpkg -i megaraid-storage-manager_2.35-2_all.deb

Next, you're going to need to edit the UI startup script, but first make it editable:

sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/MegaRAID Storage Manager/startupui.sh

You're going to need to edit it for two things: first you need to add a line to change to the MSM directory, and second you need to change the jre directory to call the system's currently (or not yet) installed jre. Your startup script should look like this:


. /etc/init.d/msm_profile
cd "/usr/local/MegaRAID Storage Manager/"
/usr/bin/java -Duser.country=US -Duser.language=en -classpath .:GUI.jar:monitorgui.jar:DebugLog.jar GUI.VivaldiStartupDialog ajsgyqkj=71244

Next you need to grab a proper jre as the jre included with MSM doesn't work on Hardy.

apt-get install sun-java6-jre

Finally, run the startupui.sh script and it should work.

If you get errors in the terminal about not being able to connect to your address, you'll need to start a couple daemons like so:

sudo /etc/init.d/vivaldiframeworkd start
sudo /etc/init.d/mrmonitor start

Also, I almost forgot to mention - In order to login, you'll need to enable root access. This is kind of a pain and doesn't make me terribly happy, but I haven't yet figured out how to enable other users to connect with full permissions.

Hope this helps anyone else who needs it.

hey guys, sorry i cant really contribute to the OPs question, but i had some questions regarding perc 5i. i posted it here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1091758&highlight=perc

also, i spent about 3 hours trying to get dell's omsa working but was not able to get it working. i am running ubuntu 9.04 alpha 5. could it be because maybe my motherboard doesn't support IPMI? chipset is nforce 730i.

[fadetoblack82]

try this:

backup your /etc/init.d/vivaldiframeworkd script first. then edit it as root and replace line 18:


for (( i=0; i < 20; i++ ))

with this:


for i in `seq 0 19`

that should get around the bad for loop variable error. i think the error is because /bin/sh is actually dash

[cimboo]

thank you, the loop error is gone. but the script does not start the monitor. i should install opensuse to use this program...

[Allan Tung]

Hello,

I manage to install the Megaraid Storage Manager but it cannot start the application. The terminal screenshot is attached with this message. Hopefully someone know the reason.

Thanks.

[bijur]

So... I think I've made some progress with the installation of the MegaRAID Storage Manager.

But I was getting an error when loading the framework dependencies.

I've discovered that the problem resides in the two libraries that are native, and are used in the Java environment through JNI (Java Native Interface).

Apparently, without those two libraries, the framework doesn't load, and the graphical interface can't "see" the server with the PERC/6i board.

I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 on a Dell Server with the PERC/6i RAID Controller.

If anyone know how to solve this...

Best for all.

Cheers.

[Laykun]

Yes, a fix for this would be great as I'm trying to use the interface for my Dell Perc 5/i but it wont load the framework module.

[Laykun]

Yes, a fix for this would be great as I'm trying to use the interface for my Dell Perc 5/i but it wont load the framework module.

Ok, I managed to fix this on my system with karmic 64bit. The problem I was having was mrmonitor wasn't starting due to an error with libstdc++5, as in it did not exist. libstdc++5 isn't available for karmic so I downloaded the packages for jaunty and manually installed them. http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/libstdc++5. You'll need the 32bit version to run the framework.

[bijur]

So many thanks! It worked like a charm!

BTW, it works also for the Dell PERC 6/i!
Thanks guys!

[BooDaddy]

I am having problems gettting my Storage Manager installed so I can manage my PERC 5i card.
I am running Ubuntu Server 9.10 and I have followed the directions in this entire thread.

I am able to start Vivaldi and mrmonitor without any errors, but I cant get storage manager to connect (which I am running from another PC) to the server with the perc card.

I had even more problems trying to start the startupui.sh as it gives an error trying to locate JRE.

Any suggestions?

[EvilGenius007]

I'm also having trouble monitoring a PERC 5/i with 9.10, but I happen to be running the 64-bit desktop variety.

What I've done so far (to best of my recollection and understanding):

1. Download & save MegaCLI for Linux from LSI's website (http://www.lsi.com/obsolete/megaraid_sas_8480e.html) (the Support & Downloads tab for the 8480e product, with the "Current" radio button selected).
2. Convert and install the .rpm using the following console commands:
sudo apt-get install alien
sudo alien --to-tgz MegaCli-1.01.39-0.i386.rpm
sudo tar xvfz MegaCli-1.01.39.tgz
sudo cp MegaCli64 /usr/sbin/MegaCli
3. Find out that while the "MegaCli" command now produces output, it also doesn't recognize my controller. Specifically, the command:
MegaCli -AdpCount
produces the output
Controller Count: 0.
4. From the instructions in this thread: Download & save MegaRAID Storage Manager for Linux from LSI's website
(http://www.lsi.com/obsolete/megaraid_sas_8480e.html) 5. Use the GUI Archive Manager to unpackage the MSM_linux_install-2.35-01.tar.gz file, creating a directory called "disk" which contains "MegaRAID_Storage_Manager-2.35-01.noarch.rpm"
6. Install it with the following instructions:
sudo alien --script MegaRAID_Storage_Manager-2.35-01.noarch.rpm
sudo dpkg -i megaraid-storage-manager_2.35-2_all.deb
7. Modify the startup script as follows:
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/MegaRAID\ Storage\ Manager/startupui.sh
sudo nano /usr/local/MegaRAID\ Storage\ Manager/startupui.sh
changing the contents to:

. /etc/init.d/msm_profile
cd "/usr/local/MegaRAID Storage Manager/"
/usr/bin/java -Duser.country=US -Duser.language=en -classpath .:GUI.jar:monitorgui.jar:DebugLog.jar GUI.VivaldiStartupDialog ajsgyqkj=712448. Install the suggested version of java:
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
9. Run the startup script:
cd /usr/local/MegaRAID\ Storage\ Manager/
./startupui.sh
10. Discover that it didn't report my controller either
11. Downloaded the amd64 file from one of the mirrors at http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/libstdc++5 and installed with the GDebi Package Installer (default)
12. Re-ran startupui.sh and found it still didn't report my controller
13. Came here to ask for help!

HELP!!

I will note that one step I didn't attempt & don't understand is giving root access to ... something!? in order to "login" with the MegaRAID Storage Manager.
Also, I almost forgot to mention - In order to login, you'll need to enable root access.

I should also note, my reason for wanting these tools is to expand my existing, functional RAID 5 array from 4 drives to 5. I have no issues with Ubuntu recognizing, mounting, and making the space from the existing array available, and I have confirmed in the "BIOS" of the card that the 5th drive is connected and operational.

[BooDaddy]

Im still having problems with this.

Is there a solution that would run the megaraid manager as a daemon (maybe MegaRAID CLI) and then I can connect to my ubuntu 9.10 box that has the PERC card from another winxp box that is running the megaraid java client?

When I boot my ubuntu box into windowsXP (which is the only way to manage my raid right now) I am able to connect to the megaraid client from another PC.

Will the MegaRAID CLI have an option to run at boot an allow connections from other PCs running the java megaraid client?

[ArNike]

I have problems with it too. But my case is slightly different. When I launch 'vivaldiframeworkd' it goes with the following error:

BooDaddy, you're partially right, but I don't think that MegaRAID CLI will do here simply because CLI can't work as a daemon by definition :-)
I want to install MSM with that thought in mind, that I will be able to connect to MSM server from another host with MSM client installed in order to remotely manage RAID.
But so far, with no success.

Holy crap! You sir, are awesome! I will try this out this weekend and report my results!
Thanks!

[BooDaddy]

Well... mixed results. I was able to get everything installed, and the GUI even launches. But it does not find my server. I have tried having it goto 127.0.0.1 but no luck. It still will not pickup my SAS card.

Any suggestions? I have tries running the MSM as root and everything.

Are you using amd64 architecture? I did some testing and actually does not seem to find any server on amd64 :(.

[BooDaddy]

Yes, I am indeed running 64 bit. Oh well. Was so close :) Maybe someone will get this working on 64 bit, as thats a bit above my knowledge level :(

[BooDaddy]

Well,
I just tried this on another machine I built. This time I am using Ubuntu Server 10.10 32 bit. I have ubuntu-desktop installed, and followed the directions that JD82 posted.

MSM launches, but it never is able to connect to the card. I have tried 127.0.0.1 as the host and still doesnt find it. Any suggestions?

What other packages could you suggest JD82?

[maxim99]

I just wanted to add my little bit in here. I noticed that after applying several fixes referenced in this thread, the /etc/init.d/mrmonitor was still not functioning properly. I found that this was due to the lack of a 32-bit comparability library on my system.

I found that there is no such library in debian/ubuntu so I did the next best thing. I search around for the libstdc++5 package to install on my system.

I found it here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/i386/libstdc++5/download

And installed it via the command:

dpkg --force-architecture libstdc++5_3.3.6-20_i386.deb

Previously mrmonitor was providing an error about libstdc++.5.so and saying No such file or directory.

A symlink to the .6.so didn't work out so I installed the 32bit version of .5.so and the error message no longer appears.

I'm now having difficulties getting the client software to see the server like most others in this thread.

[maxim99]

I was able to get it to work. However, I ended up using Intel's RAID Web Console 2.

I found that the key to getting it to work is setting up the libraries so that they're functioning.

For me the key library was libxerces-c.so.28. This library came along with Intel RAID Web Console 2 in a separate RPM in an apache directory.

I symlinked the library into my /usr/lib and then did ldconfig, restarted the services and afterwards the controller was listed.

# ln -s /opt/lsi/Apache/libxerces-c.so.28 /usr/lib/libxerces-c.so.28
# ldconfig

# ldd /usr/local/bin/mrmonitord

/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf771b000)

[iikoo]

Damn, not working in 10.10 maveric 64bit. Have you figured this out yet? Seems to be the same as with everyone else, no server found. Vivaldiframework does start, and mrmonitor tries to, but according to syslog it does not find my controller!

It works, but MSM can't find server on loopback (127.0.0.1)
MSM CAN find server only on external IP.
After setting password for root i can login from another machine (windows).
Under Linux i can login but MSM shows nothing except rotating circle.

[notanatheist]

3Ware FTW any day of the week. LSI sucks so hard. It is sad they acquired 3Ware and Intel uses them for their controllers too. All the tools are RPM and in many cases not x64. Get with it LSI.

At least Adaptec's software usually installs and works with minimal fuss. They just suck at updating FW for their cards. Would a 3Ware dev kindly step forward and smack the LSI team around to improve their software?!

Argh!

[zhouz]

After much fiddling I was able to install the Megaraid Storage Manager on a clean install of 10.04.2 x64 server. This worked for me to be able to monitor the Intel SASUC8I cards in a couple of my servers which run on LSI 1068e. I'm sure this will work for monitoring other cards like the dell perc
