 There are '''no management tool'''. LSI doesn't provide any proprietary utility for FusionMPT's cards.
 [[BR]]However an '''opensource reporting tool''' named ''mpt-status'' has been developped.

+== 3.1. mpt-status ==
+
+=== 3.1.1. Quickstart and output example ===
+
+Probe controllers IDs:[[BR]]
+{{{
+server:~# mpt-status -p
+Checking for SCSI ID:0
+Found SCSI id=0, use ''mpt-status -i 0`` to get more information.
+}}}
+
+Get status of controller "0":[[BR]]
+{{{
+servlcs:~# mpt-status -i 0
+ioc0 vol_id 0 type IM, 2 phy, 73 GB, state OPTIMAL, flags ENABLED
+ioc0 phy 1 scsi_id 32 ATA      ST3808110AS      J   , 74 GB, state ONLINE, flags NONE
+ioc0 phy 0 scsi_id 1 ATA      ST3808110AS      J   , 74 GB, state ONLINE, flags NONE
+}}}

+In most case, your controller ID will be 0. Running ''mpt-status'' '''without any parameters''' will give you the same output example as above.
+
+Please not you '''MUST''' have '''mptctl''' kernel modules '''loaded''' to monitor your RAID HBAs.[[BR]]
+Load it by hand for the first time and add it to '''/etc/modules''' for next reboots:[[BR]]
+{{{
+modprobe mptctl
+echo mptctl >> /etc/modules
+}}}
