- In this video I'm going to show you how to use the basic RAID commands in the Broadcom LSI storcli tool with Broadcom RAID controllers from the 9400, 9500, and 9600 series. I'll only be covering the basic commands to create, list, and delete RAID virtual drives.

This works exactly - and I mean *exactly* - like perccli for Dell branded LSI controllers. It is super complex, but at least exposes disk to the operating system, especially smart data.
Cool! It is probably the same tool as Dell perc controllers are all LSI based.
Wonderful presentation Art. As are all of your tutorials. Have a safe and wonderful weekend. Peter
Thank you! You too!
@artofserver Very nice video and very helpful many thanks besides, do you have some tutorial simulating a failed disk in a raid5 and procedure (including storcli commands) on how to replace it? Thanks
I do not yet. but that's a great suggestion. i no longer have this controller though, as I had to return this to Broadcom. However, I can probably do a tutorial using an older generation controller.
@@ArtofServer awesome Sir thanks a lot (preferably the demo using storcli set of commands) wishin your youtube channel more success and subscribers (btw im suggestin my friends to subscribe to it)
Immediately after watching this I booted Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop Live from a USB flash drive and was hoping to replicate what I saw here. I was unable to locate / install storCLI. I'm wondering if this had anything to do with the fact that it wasn't a full Ubuntu install to disk. I should mention that running the sg3_utils to reformat a drive was not an issue.
The storcli64 program is not distributed with most Linux distributions. You need to download and install it from broadcom.com. Then make sure you set your PATH environment variable to include the location where you installed storcli64.
how can I create the enclosure?
I have storcli installed, but when I enter the command storcli64 /c0 at the Linux Ubuntu prompt, it returns the error message "storcli64: command not found".
The command: dpkg -l | grep -i storcli returns
ii storcli 007.2908.0000.0000 all Storage Command Line Tool, manages storage controllers.
Wherever you have it installed, make sure that directory is also in your PATH environment variable.
@@ArtofServer Yes, that was the solution. I used the full path. For example "sudo /opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 -v" and it worked fine.
Thanks much for your videos. They're super helpful.
Are you one of the webbios user or webcli?
just cli in linux.
@@ArtofServerI was talking about the raid controller setup menu
