Smartctl and megaraid

[DRAFT]

for LSI RAID (usually used with supermicro or dell servers )

smartctl -a -d megaraid,5 /dev/sda #device port specified after megaraid,N
smartctl -a -d megaraid,4 /dev/sda #look into port 4

smartctl -a -d sat+megaraid,5 /dev/sda #in case ddisk connected via sata interface,not sas

smartctl /dev/sda -d sat+megaraid,5 -t short #test
smartctl /dev/sda -d megaraid,5 -t short

smartctl /dev/sda -d sat+megaraid,0 -l selftest  #selftest log example [sata]
smartctl /dev/sda -d megaraid,0 -l selftest [sas]

for HP smart array you need to use cciss ,like:

smartctl -a  -d cciss,0 /dev/sda

for non-raid disk or for disk in software raid like mdadm commdn usage is more simple:

smartctl -a  /dev/sdd
smartctl -i  /dev/sdd

MegaCli:

1. Show status

MegaCli -AdpAllInfo -aAll

1. Get physical drive info

MegaCli -PDList -aAll

1. Get virtual disk info

MegaCli -LDInfo -Lall -aAll

1. Display configuration

MegaCli -CfgDsply -aAll

1. Dump eventlog events to file 'events' and open it

MegaCli -AdpEventLog -GetEvents -f events -aAll && less events

Hopefully this will help you out if you ever have to use the MegaCLI RAI
