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.

Dedicated Semi-Managed Server Review I've been using AYKSolutions for about 2 years now and their support and servers have been great. They assisted me with the transition of all my websites and databases from my old server onto their system with no problem. If I ever need them for support or a change they respond fast and always keep me up to date with the status of my support ticket. I highly recommend using this company especially if you're looking for someone to assist with server management. Best of all their cost is great!
Thanks for the fast sollution, it was my fault since my original e-mail got somehow bugged and I didn't got the invoice mails.
Great servers, Great Service, Awesome uptime! Our company has been working with AYKSolutions for almost 3 years, hosting several servers for mission-critical projects. The network downtime has been way lower than 30 minutes for OVER 3 years and.. one of our Linux servers scored 450 days of uptime! Needless to say, their Ticket Support always responds in a matter of minutes. At any time of the d ay! I would rate them 10/5 if I could! Kudos to a great company! :)
