MegaCli is currently not supported

[amaumene]

Hi,

I tried to deploy Dell servers but I discovered that megacli is not supported by eDeploy. I tried to found out why. First there is no "import megacli" in my configure file. I don't know how this file is generated. Then I took a look to megacli.py and it seems that there is not a lot of code. Anyway could you add megacli support? I can help by giving you access to Dell servers if you like :)

megacli is supported. megacli.py is used only in the hardware detection code. In configure scripts, you just have to call the command line utility.

Fred, we shall provide some higher level code/routines to ease many raid manipulation for the controllers we have. It's too much dependent on user's skill.

@ErwanAliasr1 yes but that's another story. We should open an enhancement ticket for it.

@fredericlepied where should we open such a ticket (enhancement)?

Hi,

Here is my error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/configure", line 62, in
cli = megacli.Cli(debug=True)
NameError: name 'megacli' is not defined

Thank you to tell me where I'm wrong.

Can you provide the git revision shown inside your log file ? Sounds like
your initrd is pretty old dude.

As I explained directly to Erwan, only getting informations using megacli is supported. I was talking about doing "real" actions, like creating a RAID for example.

I gave Erwan access to Dell hardware I'm currently using, he will work on this :)

I'm closing this issue and let issue #90 handling the create/delete problem for Dell arrays.
