UNSOLVED
Installing Raid Management software in linux
I have a dell poweredge 2500 with the Perc3di raid and adaptec scsi installed. I keep getting a "aacraid: battery needs to be reconditioned" error message.
I understand that I need to download and install the raid util software package to recondition the battery.
I've downloaded this software "aacraid-util-rh8.0-i386.tar.gz" to my tmp folder and followed the install instructions from the dell support site.
Problem is, when I type the command "rpm -ivh afaapps-2.7.2.i386.rpm" I get an error message saying "open of afaapps-2.7.2.i386.rpm failed: No such file or directory.
I'm running CentOS 4.4, not sure if that will make much of a difference.
I'm a bit of a linux newb, so please help me....

- First off, you're using an outdated version of the utility. With RHEL4u4 (same as CentOS 4.4) Use the one here as it is the latest version:
http://ftp.us.dell.com/scsi-raid/afa-apps-snmp.2807420-A04.tar.gz
then (AS ROOT):
$> tar -xzvf afa-apps-snmp.2807420-A04.tar.gz
$> rpm -ivh afaapps-4.1-0.i386.rpm
The documentation for the utility is here:
http://support.dell.com/docs/storage/57kgr/cli/en/index.htm - Thanks! I downloaded the newer file and extracted the two rpm packages.
When I went to rpm the afaapps-4.1-0.i386.rpm, I received the following error message
"error: Failed dependencies:
libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 is needed by afaapps-4.1.0.i386
Suggested resolutions:
/home/buildcentos/CENTOS/en/4.0/i386/CentOS/RPMS/compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2.i386.rpm"
Not sure what this means or how to fix it.
The afasnmp rpm went fine I guess.
Thanks in advance.Message Edited by jdoiv on 09-06-200604:20 PM
- OK you're missing some compatability libraries. Hopefully this will do the trick. Again as root:
> yum -y install compat-libstdc++
OR if that doesn't work
> yum -y install compat-libstdc++-296
or as a last resort (because it may not catch other dependencies)
> rpm -ivh http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/4.4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2.i386.rpm

I run afacli and get the to cli prompt. I type in "controller battery_recondition" to recondition the battery and it says "command error: (adapter must be opened before this command is used.)"
I read through the controlled documentation, and I'm not sure what I'm missing here. How do I open the controller?
edit: solved! I think... I did a search on the forums and found the command "open afa0" then did the battery recondition and it said "executing: controller battery_recondition". I'll keep an eye on the system and see if the error message pops back up. Thanks again for all the help. :)
