LSI MegaRaid Storage Manager on Ubuntu Linux (Server - No GUI)

 

 

Submitted by Justin on Sat, 10/25/2014 - 22:12

I needed to run LSI MegaRaid Storage Manager (vivaldiframework) for my LSI 9260-8i SAS card in my Ubuntu Server I built to use as a Fiber Channel SAN (see: Linux Fibre Channel SAN). Ubuntu is based on Debian so this may also work to get LSI MegaRaid Storage Manager on Debian as well, but I have not yet tried it yet. It took some work but I go it to install so I thought I would tell you how I did it. It is assumed that in the following, when editing a file you are doing it with superuser rights such as opening the files from the comand prompt with "sudo nano /path/to/file/file" or "sudo vi /path/to/file/file"

root account:

If the root account has not been enabled, it will need to be enabled and have a pasword set

sudo passwd root

sudo passwd -u root

Install prerequisites:

sudo apt-get install alien libstdc++5  rcconf

You need to download the Linux  build from LSI (http://www.lsi.com/support/pages/download-results.aspx?component=Storage+Component&productfamily=RAID+Controllers&productcode=P00066&assettype=Management+Software+and+Tools&productname=MegaRAID+SAS+9260-8i). I am using 14.08.01.02_Linux-x64_MSM.tar.gz

mkdir ~/LSI

cp 14.08.01.02_Linux-x64_MSM.tar.gz ~/LSI/

cd ~/LSI/

tar xzvf 14.08.01.02_Linux-x64_MSM.tar.gz

cd disk

sudo alien --scripts *.rpm

install deb packages

sudo dpkg --install lib-utils2_1.00-8_all.deb

sudo dpkg --install megaraid-storage-manager_14.08.01-3_all.deb 

edit /etc/init.d/vivaldiframeworkd and replace the line

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

with

for i in `seq 0 19` 

edit /etc/init.d/vivaldiframeworkd and replace the line

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

with

for i in `seq 0 19` 

edit "/usr/local/MegaRAID Storage Manager/Framework/startup.sh" and replace

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`:/opt/lsi/Apache:/opt/lsi/Pegasus:/opt/lsi/openssl;export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

with

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`:/opt/lsi/Pegasus:/usr/sbin/openssl;export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

configure the service to start automatically:

sudo rcconf

arrow down to the vivaldiframeworkd, if it does not have an "*" in it , hit the space bar to select it, then hit enter or tab to OK

Restart the vivaldiframeworkd service:

sudo /etc/init.d/vivaldiframeworkd restart

Now you will need to install the GUI on either a windows workstation or linux workstation. there is a install for windows that is simple and straight forward. If you want to install it on Ubuntu Desktop or Ubuntu Linux GUI environment, follow the instructions here: http://www.ithierarchy.com/ITH/node/36
