| 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

To monitor, I use syslog :-). I set in loader.conf
hw.mfi.event_class="-2"
so I see everything logged to dmesg/syslog of all events.
To manage it I use a custom tool but MegaCli should work.
There is a new tool that was added to freebsd "mfiutil" from Yahoo.
Thank you for tip to mfiutil. I upgraded to 7-STABLE where mfiutil is
also included and it seems simpler than MegaCli. I hope it will work
without problems ;)

I have yet to see a MegaCli that isn't a super set of the prior.
The API to the firmware has been stable.
