OMSA 7.0 on linux with PERC H200 - no controllers found
Hey,
I'm trying to monitor Dell severs and having problem monitoring the storage controller. I've about 40 Dell servers (a mix or R610/R710) with different storage controllers, most of them have a PERC H200 which is the only one who have problems, on CentOS6.3 it shows as:
"LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS2008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 [Falcon] (rev 03)"
I've install all the srvadmin packages via the linux.dell.com instructions and when running the command : omreport storage controller
I get a "no controllers found"
I've search online and I've found the MegaCli (which doesn't work as well) and the sas2irc util which does but I want to use the dell OMSA to manage all on my servers...
Help would be much appreciate,
Rudy

I have the same PERC H200 card but in a PowerEdge C6145. Like the original poster, I'd rather use OMSA than sas2ircu, even though I spent the time to package it up:
github.com/.../sas2ircu
github.com/.../nagios-plugins-check_sas2ircu
I wrote about these GitHub repos here as well: lists.us.dell.com/.../046801.html
This thread motivated me to upgrade to OMSA 7.0.0 but I still get "No storage controllers detected" and "The initialization sequence of SAS components failed during system startup. SAS management and monitoring is not possible."
Of course, I hear OMSA isn't supported at all on the C series servers: lists.us.dell.com/.../046833.html
"Dell OMSA can’t be run on the PowerEdge C series because OM (ITA, Bandera) has no explicit support for PowerEdge C. You can use ITA’s IPMI to probe the PowerEdge C server from ITA or Bandera, but you only get very minimal information because the detection methods used are custom to PowerEdge. PowerEdge C boxes are more focused on using generic, industry-standard methods to do health monitoring. As such, third-party tools have been shown to successfully probe and manage PowerEdge C servers." -- poweredgec.com/.../QSG_PowerEdge_C_System_Management.pdf
Here's my lspci output:
[root@ovirt-test ~]# facter | grep ^prod
productname => PowerEdge C6145
[root@ovirt-test ~]#
[root@ovirt-test ~]# lspci -nn | grep LSI
02:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller [0107]: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS2008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 [Falcon] [1000:0072] (rev 03)
If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks.
