I’ve confirmed the ESXi firewall is good withĮsxcli network firewall ruleset rule list | grep LSI_MSM Is it rebuilding? How long will it take for a 2TB drive with no data? Why can’t MSM connect to the server in the meanwhile? The web bios says “Rebuild” next to this drive G) After booting again, beeping persisted. I had to shut down again to look in the web bios utility. UPDATE: I set up the alerts and decided to test it by pulling out a drive.Ī) I did not get an email alert, despite the “Test” working immediately beforehandī) the server is beeping very loudly, even after putting the drive back in.Ĭ) After putting the drive back in, it showed up as ‘Unconfigured Bad’ in the MSMĭ) I chose the option to set it to ‘Unconfigured Good’ but nothing happenedĮ) I rebooted the host, the beeping started up again on boot.į) I could not connect the MSM to the server after this reboot. First I downloaded version 9 but the option to connect to remote servers was grayed out. This article at the bottom was helpful for getting started įinding the right MSM program at LSI’s website is tricky.
usr/bin/cp /vmfs/volumes/datastore2/LSI_MSM.xml /etc/vmware/firewall/ # set up firewall access for MegaRAID Storage Manager Especially the firewall process in this post was necessary: follow the instructions about opening the firewall ports by creating the file called LSI_MSM.xml in /etc/firewallĪdded an entry in rc.local to restore that firewall setting like this:
#Lsi megaraid storage manager for vmware how to
This post has some good information about how to do this. Turned on CIM server here: Configuration->Security Profile->Services->PropertiesĪnd opened the firewall for CIM Server and CIM Secure Server. Installed the 2 vib files into the ESXi host (after enabling ssh etc) See ‘Customizing Installation Images’ good luck and let me know how it goes!
#Lsi megaraid storage manager for vmware drivers
UPDATE: As of this writing, 9750 drivers are not supported on out-of-the-box ESXi 5.0 update 1, but they are available (currently listed under 9650SE driver on the lsi 9750 page) and need to be compiled into the ESXi installer. If indeed the LSI 3ware 9750-xi is supported (and although not listed i believe it does work with ESXi 5), i STRONGLY recommend using that controller with 3dm2 vs this MegaRAID godzilla of the deep.
