@rmlhhd
not run
try
MegaCli64
Look in /opt
should be here:
/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64
Hmm. New install location?
find / - name "Mega*"
Install this one:
rpm -ivh http://mirror.cogentco.com/pub/misc/MegaCli-8.07.14-1.noarch.rpm
then locate it here:
/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64
Found on LSI website!! Thanks!
Download it from wherever you wish but here is how it is installed & maintained:
# rpm -ivh MegaCli-8.07.14-1.noarch.rpm
# alias MegaCli="/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64"
(use either MegaCli64 or MegaCli depending on your OS architecture)Don't forget to add the same line to /root/.bashrc so that it stays there after reboot.
Some useful commands:

Thanks all!
Now, with MegaCli and storcli I can check the SMART of my LSI disks.
But (just to not open a new thread) how can I check the SSD's health ? with SMART?
I know there are not errors, but can I know the remaining lifetime?
Crucials don't have Wear_Leveling_Count as far as I know.
Thanks for your responde. You know if Samsung has it?
We are going to install a new node and looking on the Samsung 850 Pro series.
Every Samsung I've used does have it, but you would want to confirm that the 850Ps are compatible with LSI. There are well documented issues that used to occur when people used 840Ps with LSI. They might have been fixed, but it was a significant problem in the past.
Does Intel's have it?
