This is not as straightforward as Adaptec or 3ware, but it's not terribly difficult either if you follow the below instructions.
First, we need to download the MegaCLI zip file. You can get it from here:
http://www.avagotech.com/support/download-search
You can use "MegaCli64" as the search parameter on the above website.
You will need to download it to your local computer first and then upload it to your Linux server using WinSCP.
2. Unzip the contents of the folder using the 'unzip' command and then untar it using the tar command.
3. Go to your selected OS folder. In our case it will be Linux.
4. You will see two RPM files. Install both using rpm -ivh command.
5. The default directory for the installed utility will be in the /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli folder. It will either be called MegaCli or MegaCli64.
6. To make running the command by just typing 'MegaCli' we will setup an alias like so:
root#: 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 it stays there after boot.
You are now ready to use the MegaCli utility.

You can trust your business with AYKsolutions After a horrible experience with my prior host that left me with over 14 hours of downtime, AYKSolutions came in, took care of the transfer completely and made my life easier. When they say their servers are semi-managed, it means they take care of more then most managed server hosting companies. Average ticket response time? 2-5 minutes. One time i n the middle of the night it took 30 minutes. Problems that I create are fixed immediately and they take care of their customers. Artyom is the owner, who is somehow capable of not sleeping. He's always there to take care of everything with a personal touch. 3 AM on a Saturday? Not an issue for AYKSolutions. Trust me, I'm very thorough in researching a company. When it comes to business, you can never be too careful. I trust my business with AYKSolutions
I recently switched to AYK Solutions from Softlayer for my dedicated server requirements. I received a much better specification server at significantly reduced cost from what Softlayer could offer me, with many of the previously 'extra' features at Softlayer included in the base price offered by AYK. The support was second to none, and they were extremely helpful in transferring all of my old server accounts over for no additional fee whatsoever.
