PERC or MegaRAID controllers

The Storage Hardware Manager system also supports drives that are connected using a PERC or MegaRAID controller.

This functionality is not available by default. A system library must be installed to enable this functionality.

• Windows - Copy the storelib.dll file from the {Installation_base_path}\Dell\ServerHardwareManager

\Extras\Storelib folder to the {Installation_base_path}\Dell\ServerHardwareManager

\ServerHardwareManagerCLI folder.

• Linux - Install the storelib RPM package that is located in {Installation_base_path}/dell/

ServerHardwareManager/Extras/storelib using Linux operating system commands.

• ESXi - Install the vmware-esx-libstorelib VIB package by running the following command on the ESXi host:

esxcli software vib install -v <full path to VIB file>

To remove support for drives that are connected by using a PERC or MegaRAID controller:

• Windows: Remove the storelib.dll file from the {Installation_base_path}\Dell\ServerHardwareManager

\ServerHardwareManagerCLI folder.

• Linux - Remove the storelib RPM package that is installed using Linux operating system commands.

• ESXi - Remove the storelib VIB package by performing the following steps on the ESXi host:

1. Run the following command to display a list of the installed VIB packages:

esxcli software vib list

2. Run the following command to remove the storelib VIB package:

esxcli software vib remove -n <name of package>
