How to Install StorCLI Installation on Rocky for BCM956016I

To install and use StorCLI with the Broadcom/LSI RAID Adapter BCM956016I on Rocky Linux (9.x or 8.x), follow these steps:

✅ Step 1: Identify Your RAID Controller

Ensure the system recognizes the hardware:

lspci | grep -i raid

You should see output referencing a Broadcom / LSI MegaRAID or similar device.

✅ Step 2: Download StorCLI

Broadcom provides StorCLI (Storage Command Line Tool) to manage MegaRAID adapters.

URL: https://www.broadcom.com/products/storage/management/megaraid/storcli

Or use a direct link (may change):

https://docs.broadcom.com/docs/12352721

Search for the StorCLI for Linux archive (storcli-<version>.zip).

✅ Step 3: Install Required Tools

Make sure unzip is available:

sudo dnf install unzip

✅ Step 4: Extract and Install StorCLI

Assuming you've downloaded the zip file:

unzip storcli-*.zip
cd storcli*/Linux
sudo cp storcli64 /usr/local/sbin/
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/storcli64

Check that it works:

sudo storcli64 show

✅ Step 5: (Optional) Create a Symlink

You can create a shorter symlink:

sudo ln -s /usr/local/sbin/storcli64 /usr/bin/storcli

Now you can just run:

sudo storcli show

🔁 Step 6: Monitor or Configure RAID

To view RAID controller status:

sudo storcli show
sudo storcli /c0 show all

To check disk status:

sudo storcli /c0 /eall /sall show

Notes:

• Your device BCM956016I is likely a MegaRAID 9500-series controller, supported by StorCLI v007.2412 or newer.
• For Rocky Linux 9, kernel 5.x is compatible, but if StorCLI fails to detect the controller, ensure the megaraid_sas driver is loaded:

lsmod | grep megaraid_sas

If not:

sudo modprobe megaraid_sas

Let me know if you need help downloading the StorCLI package or using it to configure arrays.
