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.

I've been a client of AYK Solutions for about six months now. They have provided the best overall experience I have had in over 10 years. I've tried iWeb, SingleHop, and a few others supposed to be the so-called best. Specifically, you are dealing with personal, professionals with AYK Solutions, and they are willing to help when all others want to charge you $** for this and $**/hr for that. I'm happy, and have no plans of going anywhere else; ever.
We have been customers for several years. Just wanted to give a thumbs-up for their excellent response to a critical server issue we experienced this morning. We're back in biz and grateful.
Very courteous, professional, and willing to help. They truly care about client based relationships and satisfaction. I will definitely refer more clients their way, and highly recommend Ayksolutions to anyone seeking truly the best.
