Use of StorCli instead of MegaCli

[mlg1]

Hi,
Just giving an idea. Megacli is very old already.

[boomertsfx]

and it's so much easier to understand, and has JSON output as well!

(this is my first post at github)
newer version of StorCli uses another syntax then megacli:

 /bin/megacli -PDList -aALL -NoLog
CLI Version = 007.1705.0000.0000 Mar 31, 2021
Operating system = Linux 4.19.0-16-amd64
Status = Failure
Description = Deprecated command. Please use the new syntax.

ls -l /bin/megacli
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 31 Jun 16 14:55 /bin/megacli -> /opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64

/opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 -v
      StorCli SAS Customization Utility Ver 007.1705.0000.0000 Mar 31, 2021
    (c)Copyright 2021, Broadcom Inc. All Rights Reserved.

I downloaded the deb package from
https://www.thomas-krenn.com/de/wiki/StorCLI

According to

https://www.broadcom.com/support/knowledgebase/1211161499760/lsi-command-line-interface-cross-reference-megacli-vs-twcli-vs-s
and
https://www.thomas-krenn.com/de/wiki/StorCLI

these should be equivalent commands

/bin/megacli -PDList -aALL -NoLog
/opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 /cx/eall/sall show all nolog

this syntax works for me

storcli64 /call /eall /sall show nolog
CLI Version = 007.1705.0000.0000 Mar 31, 2021
Operating system = Linux 4.19.0-16-amd64
Controller = 0
Status = Success
Description = Show Drive Information Succeeded.

both on the same machine as above

Has anyone got this up and running? thanks

Seems StorCLI has now also been replaced by PERCCLI.

Seems StorCLI has now also been replaced by PERCCLI.

storcli is the generic Broadcom tool to manage arrays for most of their RAID cards. perccli is Dell's version of storcli -- so that complicates things with scripts like this. I still use both depending on server vendor, but I just symlink everything to storcli so it works on ever server.
