    3232There are '''no management tool'''. LSI doesn't provide any proprietary utility for FusionMPT's cards.
    3333[[BR]]However an '''opensource reporting tool''' named ''mpt-status'' has been developped.
     34
     35== 3.1. mpt-status ==
     36
     37=== 3.1.1. Quickstart and output example ===
     38
     39Probe controllers IDs:[[BR]]
     40{{{
     41server:~# mpt-status -p
     42Checking for SCSI ID:0
     43Found SCSI id=0, use ''mpt-status -i 0`` to get more information.
     44}}}
     45
     46Get status of controller "0":[[BR]]
     47{{{
     48servlcs:~# mpt-status -i 0
     49ioc0 vol_id 0 type IM, 2 phy, 73 GB, state OPTIMAL, flags ENABLED
     50ioc0 phy 1 scsi_id 32 ATA      ST3808110AS      J   , 74 GB, state ONLINE, flags NONE
     51ioc0 phy 0 scsi_id 1 ATA      ST3808110AS      J   , 74 GB, state ONLINE, flags NONE
     52}}}
     53
     54In most case, your controller ID will be 0. Running ''mpt-status'' '''without any parameters''' will give you the same output example as above.
     55
     56Please not you '''MUST''' have '''mptctl''' kernel modules '''loaded''' to monitor your RAID HBAs.[[BR]]
     57Load it by hand for the first time and add it to '''/etc/modules''' for next reboots:[[BR]]
     58{{{
     59modprobe mptctl
     60echo mptctl >> /etc/modules
     61}}}
