The MegaCli64 command has a lot of command line switches and the syntax is also cryptic. If you have identified a failed, or failing disk, it is possible to replace it using the MegaCli utility. The following commands I found useful when trying to physically identify a failed disk and replace it.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure the array is "Optimal" first!
[codesyntax lang="bash"]
/opt/megaraid/bin/MegaCli64 -LDInfo -Lall -aALL | grep State
[/codesyntax]
State : Optimal
List physical drives info:
[codesyntax lang="bash"]
/opt/megaraid/bin/MegaCli64 -PDList -a0 /opt/megaraid/bin/MegaCli64 -PDList -aALL | grep -e '^$' -e Slot -e Count -e Enclosure
[/codesyntax]
Here is the magic command to silence the alarm:
[codesyntax lang="bash"]
/opt/megaraid/bin/MegaCli -AdpSetProp -AlarmSilence -aALL
[/codesyntax]
Blink the LED on drive:
[codesyntax lang="bash"]
# to start /opt/megaraid/bin/MegaCli64 -PdLocate -start -physdrv[E:S] -aALL # to stop /opt/megaraid/bin/MegaCli64 -PdLocate -stop -physdrv[E:S] -aALL
[/codesyntax]
Take the disk offline:[codesyntax lang="bash"]
/opt/megaraid/bin/MegaCli64 -PDOffline -PhysDrv '[E:S]' -a0
[/codesyntax]
Mark the disk as missing:
[codesyntax lang="bash"]
/opt/megaraid/bin/MegaCli64 -PDMarkMissing -PhysDrv '[E:S]' -a0
[/codesyntax]
Prepare the disk for removal:
[codesyntax lang="bash"]
/opt/megaraid/bin/MegaCli64 -PDPrpRmv -PhysDrv '[E:S]' -a0
[/codesyntax]
Now you should replace the defective this!
Check the status:
[codesyntax lang="bash"]
/opt/megaraid/bin/MegaCli64 -PDList -aALL | grep "Firmware state"
[/codesyntax]
Firmware state: Rebuild Firmware state: Online, Spun Up Firmware state: Online, Spun Up Firmware state: Online, Spun Up
Checking Drives Using SMARTCTL:
[codesyntax lang="bash"]
/usr/sbin/smartctl -a -d megaraid,2 -H /dev/sda
[/codesyntax]
