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.

This is my second time i m using your services, and the main reason i'm doing that, beside your prices is your customer support. I love the fact that you are fast, you always help me and never get bothered by my endless questions(i'm still a newbie when it comes to server setup) Thank you
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.
The most caring provider AYKSolutions is a reliable hosting and decicated server probider with good uptimes etc etc, which nowadays is a must for any copany in the hosting industry, But what makes them stand out from cowd - is there sincere care for their customers. AYK stuff is always asking you about problems you have and doing their best to solve the problems and help yo ur business to grow. Best support ever!
