Installs the LSI MegaRAID Storage Manager and MegaCLI RAID controller management software.
It has been tested on:
- el6.x
This module is intended to directly install the RPMs LSI packages up with their own Linux installer, without using the provided install scripts. It is assumed that these RPMs have been extracted and made available as a Yum repo.
The Storage Manager and CLI packages are provided via the LSI website.
Here is a guided example starting at the 9285-8e product page.
- click on the SUPPORT & DOWNLOADS tab
- expand the MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE AND TOOLS section
- download MegaRAID Storage Manager - Linux 64 bit - 5.4
- download MegaCLI - 5.3
Note that both of those direct links redirect to a page that requires you to accept an EULA.

All of those RPMs should be copied into a repo and that yum is configured to install from. Here is an example Yum repo skeleton on github.
