General Parameters
- Adapter parameter -aN
The parameter -aN (where N is a number starting with zero or the string ALL) specifies the adapter ID. If you have only one controller it’s safe to use ALL instead of a specific ID, but you’re encouraged to use the ID for everything that make changes to your RAID configuration. - Physical drive parameter -PhysDrv [E:S]
For commands that operate on one or more pysical drives, the -PhysDrv [E:S] parameter is used, where E is the enclosure device ID in which the drive resides and S the slot number (starting with zero). You can get the enclosure device ID using MegaCli -EncInfo -aALL. The E:S syntax is also used for specifying the physical drives when creating a new RAID virtual drive. - Virtual drive parameter -Lx
The parameter -Lx is used for specifying the virtual drive (where x is a number starting with zero or the string all).

# MegaCli -PDGetMissing -a0 - Replace missing drive
# MegaCli -PdReplaceMissing -PhysDrv [E:S] -ArrayN -rowN -aN
* The number N of the array parameter is the Span Reference you get using MegaCli -CfgDsply -aALL and the number N of the row parameter is the Physical Disk in that span or array starting with zero (it’s not the physical disk’s slot!). - Rebuild drive, drive status should be "Firmware state: Rebuild"

- Enable autorebuild
# # MegaCli -AdpAutoRbld -Enbl -a0 - set the drive offline
# MegaCli -PDOffline -PhysDrv [E:S] -aN - mark the drive as missing
# MegaCli -PDMarkMissing -PhysDrv [E:S] -aN - prepare drive for removal
# MegaCli -PDPrpRmv -PhysDrv [E:S] -aN - change/replace the drive
- if you are using hot spares, the replaced drive should become new hot spare
# MegaCli -PDHSP -Set -PhysDrv [E:S] -aN
if you are not using hot spares, you must re-add the new drive to your RAID virtual drive and start the rebuilding
# MegaCli -PdReplaceMissing -PhysDrv [E:S] -ArrayN -rowN -aN
# MegaCli -PDRbld -Start -PhysDrv [E:S] -aN
To identify the problem drive:
- Gather information:
MegaCli -LDInfo -Lall -aALLMegaCli -PDList -a0MegaCli -CfgDsply -aALLMegaCli -AdpGetProp AlarmDsply -aAllMegaCli -LDCC -ShowProg -L0 -a0 -NologMegaCli -FwTermLog -Dsply -a0
- Locate a physical drive: MegaCli64 -PdLocate -start -physdrv [E:S] -a0
- To Clear Terminal Log: MegaCli -FwTermLog -Clear -aN
- Check battery status: MegaCli -AdpBbuCmd -aAll
- Check BBU (battery backup unit) status:
MegaCli -AdpBbuCmd -GetBbuStatus -a0 -NoLog | egrep 'charge|battery' - Work with bad BBU: MegaCli -LDSetProp CachedBadBBU -LAll -aAll -NoLog
- To find enclosure IDs: MegaCli -EncInfo -aN
- To view a particular physical drive: MegaCli -pdinfo -PhysDrv [E:S] -aN
- To replace a drive:
MegaCli -PDOffline -PhysDrv [E:S] -aNMegaCli -PDMarkMissing -PhysDrv [E:S] -aNMegaCli -PDPrpRmv -PhysDrv [E:S] -aN- ** swap the drive **
MegaCli -PdReplaceMissing -PhysDrv [E:S] -ArrayN -rowN -aN
Note: The number N of the array parameter is the Span Reference you get usingFor example: to replace physical disk 0 in span 1 using disk ID 25 you would use the following command: MegaCli -PdReplaceMissing -PhysDrv [:25] -Array1 -row0 -a0MegaCli -CfgDsply -aALLand the number N of the row parameter is the Physical Disk in that span which you are replacing, not the slot number. S is the slot number of the NEW disk.
Warning: Drive rebuilds do not start automatically! You have to actually tell the controller to start rebuilding the drive.
MegaCli -PDRbld -Start -PhysDrv [E:S] -aNTo rebuild a drive that has a "foreign" configuration:
- Mark the drive as good: MegaCli -PDMakeGood -PhysDrv [E:S] -aALL
- Clear the foreign setting: MegaCli -CfgForeign -Clear -a0
- Set global hot spare - drive should start rebuilding after this:
MegaCli -PDHSP -Set -PhysDrv [E:S] -aN - Stop consistency check:MegaCli -LDCC -Abort -L0 -a0 -Nolog
- Silence Alarm Beeps: MegaCli -AdpSetProp -AlarmSilence -aN
- Show Rebuild Status:
watch -n 10 /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -PDRbld -ShowProg PhysDrv [E:S] -a0
Dump the log file${megacli} -fwtermlog -dsply -aall > /tmp/ttylog.txt
~/tmp $ grep -n ErrLba ttylog.txt
The ErrLba= indicates a hardware error on the specified block. It seems
the raid controller attempted to read the data, and found it to be
corrupted. But, it then wrote it back, and all is now okay again
~/tmp $ grep -n orrected ttylog.txt
if it sees many of these errors (many being a loose
definition which varies from disk to disk) the controller will raise a
predictive failure error. Until then, we ignore it.
