    32 There are '''no management tool'''. LSI doesn't provide any proprietary utility for FusionMPT's cards.
    33 [[BR]]However an '''opensource reporting tool''' named ''mpt-status'' has been developped.
     32There's no opensource tool for theses new cards.
     33[[BR]]However, LSI provide a '''command line management tool''' named sas2ircu. Management features are really '''basic''', so it's better to use is as a '''reporting tool''' only.

    54 In most case, your controller ID will be 0. Running ''mpt-status'' '''without any parameters''' will give you the same output example as above.
     101In most case, your controller ID will be 0.

    56 You '''MUST''' have '''mptctl''' kernel module '''loaded''' to monitor your RAID HBAs.[[BR]]

     105
     106sas2ircu-status is a package I wrote by myself. It includes a python wrapper around tw_cli command and an initscript which daemonize the launch of the wrapper.[[BR]]
     107It also handles failure detection and report it by mail and syslog. It also handle unexpected output changes and reminders until the status is fine again.

    63 === 3.1.2. My opinion about mpt-status ===
    64 
    65 Despite it seems that '''no real upstream development''' exists for this tool, it works '''fine''' and is '''reliable'''.
    66 [[BR]]We experienced several disks failure on MPT SAS controllers and mpt-status always reported the failure and status changes. [[BR]]However don't expected verbose output.

    70 === 3.1.3. Reporting with mpt-status ===
     128'''I haven't been able to really test it yet, so please use it carefully and contact me if you have a server on which one you are able to do some testing (plug disks, unplug, create hotspare...)'''
     129Use the [http://hwraid.le-vert.net/newticket ticket system] to contact me.

    72131''mpt-status'' has been greatly integrated to Debian by '''Petter Reinholdtsen and Steffen Joeris'''.
    73132[[BR]]Many thanks to them for good work !
    74133
    75 The packages comes with an initscript that '''periodic''' run mpt-status to '''check status'''.
    76 [[BR]]It keeps a file with latest status and thus is able to detect RAID '''status changes and/or brokeness'''.
    77 [[BR]]It will log a ligne to '''syslog''' when something failed and will send you a '''mail'''.
    78 [[BR]]Until arrays are healthy again a '''reminder''' will be sent each 2 hours.
    79134
    80 In fact, I must admit all my ''"something-status"'' packages for others kind of cards are based on this work.
