Retrieve RAID controller logs from
VxFlex Ready Node systems
Perform this procedure to retrieve the RAID controller logs from ESXi- and Linux-based servers in a
VxFlex Ready Node system.
Prerequisites
Ensure that you have access to the following:
- IP address of the node
- Password for the root user in ESXi-based and Linux-based systems and the administrator user in Windows-based systems
- The RAID controller utility, which is enabled (for details, see the
Hardware Configuration and Operating System Installation Guide of your system)
Steps
-
SSH or RDP to the
VxFlex Ready Node.
-
Retrieve the controller information:
Operating System | Run this command
|
---|
ESXi |
/opt/lsi/perccli/perccli /call show all > <file_name>
Example:
/opt/lsi/perccli/perccli /call show all > /var/tmp/store/RAIDinfo.txt
|
---|
Linux |
/opt/MegaRAID/perccli/perccli64 /call show all > <file_name>
Example:
/opt/MegaRAID/perccli/perccli64 /call show all > /var/tmp/store/RAIDinfo.txt |
---|
-
Retrieve the
Show Events log file:
Operating System | Run this command
|
---|
ESXi |
/opt/lsi/perccli/perccli /call show events file=<file_name>
Example:
/opt/lsi/perccli/perccli /call show events file=/var/tmp/store/RAIDevents.txt |
---|
Linux |
/opt/MegaRAID/perccli/perccli64 /call show events file=<file_name>
Example:

---|
You can retrieve the
RAIDevents.txt file from your local drive.
-
Retrieve the
Termlog log file:
Operating System | Run this command |
---|
ESXi |
/opt/lsi/perccli/perccli /call show termlog file=<file_name>
Example:
/opt/lsi/perccli/perccli /call show termlog file=/var/tmp/store/RAIDtermlog.txt |
---|
Linux |
/opt/MegaRAID/perccli/perccli64 /call show termlog file=<file_name>
Example:
/opt/MegaRAID/perccli/perccli64 /call show termlog file=/var/tmp/store/RAIDtermlog.txt |
---|
You can retrieve the
RAIDtermlog.txt file from your local drive.
