| Probably not. I noted this when I originally filed the PR for

I find this hard to believe and in my experience with a fresh download
from LSI's web-site the FreeBSD and Linux variants work just fine
on my PERC5's for things like -AdpAllInfo. There is no real firmware
interface difference between between the PERC5 and PERC6. So I don't
know where you get this from. Specifics in which things are broken
could be nice so I can look at getting them fixed. I put in the
management ioctl path that they use into FreeBSD a long time ago.
They did find some bugs in some new management features that are
fixed in 7.1 and I need to merge back to 6. Unfortunately, this work
happened after the last 6.X version was released :-(

I would say not. Let's get rid of the Linux variant and use the FreeBSD
native ones. The FreeBSD should be a lot easier to run then the
Linux one and won't have the potential NFS hang issue that Linux does.
It's nice to see the FreeBSD version and would be interesting to see
how much my hand was involved in that ...
My employer's FreeBSD native tool works across all of the MegaRAID SAS
type cards and Dell servers that I've tried which pre-dates the MegaCLI
for FreeBSD. Prior versions of MegaCLI also did. I can't say I've
tried all options with the latest MegaCLI.
Hi,
I am little confused by all these MegaRAID utilities available in ports.
(I am new to LSI MegaRAID).
I have new Dell R610 with PERC6 identified as:
mfi0: <Dell PERC 6> port 0xfc00-0xfcff mem
0xdf180000-0xdf1bffff,0xdf1c0000-0xdf1fffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci3
mfi0: Megaraid SAS driver Ver 3.00
What is the recommended tool to monitor (and manage) the state of the
PERC6 array?
I also found on LSI website, that newer FreeBSD MegaCli is available:
5.00.15
But I don't know if it supports previous HW or not.
4.00.11
Release Date: 02/19/2009
MegaRAID SAS 8704ELP
MegaRAID SAS 8704EM2
MegaRAID SAS 8708ELP
MegaRAID SAS 8708EM2
MegaRAID SAS 8880EM2
MegaRAID SAS 8888ELP
5.00.15
Release Date: 10/20/2009
MegaRAID SAS 9260-4i
MegaRAID SAS 9260-8i
MegaRAID SAS 9260DE-8i
MegaRAID SAS 9280-8e
MegaRAID SAS 9280DE-8e
I don't know if later is addition to previous list or if it is exclusive
list.
Will current sysutils/megacli be updated to 5.00.15?
