Hi Guys,

We try to install the MegaRAID Storage Manager on VMware ESXi 4.0(IBM x3550 M2) for monitoring the Hard disk status but couldn't be able to install and it returned the error as attached

We followed the below steps as mentioned in the ibm website

1.6 Installing MegaRAID Storage Manager on a VMWare ESX Server

Perform the following steps to install MegaRAID Storage Manager on a

VMWare ESX Server:

1. Download the latest MSM from ibm.com

2. Unzip the package and copy MSM_linux_installer-501.01.tar.gz to a USB key.

3. From the ESX server, at root console, type the following command

to identify the USB device: fdisk –l

4. Type the following command: mount /dev/{name of your USB device} /mnt

5. Type the following command: cd /mnt

6. Type the following command to copy MSM_linux_installer-501.01.tar.gz to the opt

folder: cp MSM_linux_installer-501.01.tar.gz /opt

7. Type the following to unzip the package gunzip MSM_linux_installer-501.01.tar.gz

8. Type the following to untar the package tar –vxf MSM_linux_installer-501.01.tar

9. Change directories to the /opt/disk path

10. type ./vmware_install.sh to install MSM

11. Select VMware version

a. Enter 1 for Vmware 3.5 install

b Enter 2 for VMware 4.0 install

12. Select storlib option

a. enter n if you want to use the inbox storlib driver

b. enter y if you want to install the storlib packaged with MSM

IBM recommends 'y' is selected to use storlib packaged with MSM, selecting 'n' may

cause some functions of MSM not to work correctly

Could anyone please advise on how to proceed with the troubleshooting and the installation

Please find the error file as attached

Much appreciate your help

Thanks in Advance,

hi - i am sure you are not using the right version for ESXi - this seems like more relevant to ESX(which had service console)

this link has the details

basically you can check health from vsphere client or install the software on a windows machine and use the GUI to manage the LSI adapter.

hope this helps...:)
