I have the supermicro SuperServer 2026TT H6RF server. Each contains 4 nodes and each node has an onboard 6Gbps SAS controller, an LSI 2108. I wanted to install a manager for monitoring the drives and raid status.
Digging around I found:
ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/driver/SAS/LSI/2108/
which is the drivers and the MSM raid manager. I did not install the driver, centos 6 seems to utilize the SAS card just fine.
Upon unpacking the zip file:
ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/driver/SAS/LSI/2108/MSM/Linux/11.06-00/11.06-00.zip
I found in the disk directory the readme that has prerequisites for RHEL6. They list a bunch of rpms that need to be installed. I had the target packages installed via yum, but I got errors running the install script. It wasn’t clear what exactly I needed to install.
I think the pre-requisites are 32 bit libraries. At any rate after much fumbling around I found the MegaRaid manager worked when I installed the following yum packages:
yum install libstdc++.i686
yum install libXext.i686
yum install libXtst.i686
Good luck!
