Thanks @AysadKozanoglu :)
thx
no megacli for debian on 64 bit system?
MegaCli: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file
Then you're probably on a 64-bit (or mixed) system and want to use MegaCli64 instead (or install lib32ncurses5(verify))
can't find MegaCli64 . smh
@krtschmr you have to run apt install libncurses5
Worked perfectly. Many thanks.
Works well on Proxmox (based on Debian):

Any hints?
All I can tell you is it works for me. Here's my various config options and some sample MegaCli output.
When I first got this server I spent a good while making sure all it's various firmwares were as recent as possible, including the RAID cards.
I've two controllers installed currently and they both work fine.
Note that the 'Error Code' for some MegaCli commands returns the parameter queried as opposed to an actuall error code. (eg AdpCount)
I do have modules loaded to allow passthrough of the cards into a VM, but I'm NOT actually doing that at the moment so Proxmox can use them. Not sure if that would make a difference though.
Loaded in /etc/modules

vfio_iommu_type1

The repo is only for x86_amd64 binary packages.
For arm64 you have to compile from source Code by yourself for megacli or storecli. You can get the source code from github and compile the source code on your arm64 environment.
Maybe you can find preCompiled binaries for arm64 from other users

Thanks to your reply.
Yes,i noticed this point( get the source code from github and compile the source code on my arm64 environment) when post my question yestoday,but i don't find the source code in github.Do you know where it is?
Hi @kaizimmer1,
Appreciate this is a year on and you've probably way done with this now but I came up against the same thing.
So for others like me that might stumble upon this thread...
Your card is not a megaraid card so megacli won't see it:
3b:00.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1068E PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS (rev 08)
It's a Fusion-MPT SAS. You need lsiutils which works for me.
Or sas2ircu which is of limited use tbh.
Regards,
Andy.

no megacli for debian on 64 bit system?

I fixed this issue on Ubuntu 24.04, just by creating the symlink for:
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncurses.so.6 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncurses.so.5
Now works good!

Still need libtinfo.so.5:
/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
So... maybe, with copy/linking from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.6 to libtinfo.so.5 will solved the problem too
Works well on Proxmox (based on Debian):
- Install necessary tools
apt-get install unzip
apt-get install alien- Install necessary lib
apt install libncurses5- Download
wget https://docs.broadcom.com/docs-and-downloads/raid-controllers/raid-controllers-common-files/8-07-14_MegaCLI.zip- Unzip
unzip 8-07-14_MegaCLI.zip- Create debian package
cd Linux
sudo alien MegaCli-8.07.14-1.noarch.rpm- Install debian package
sudo dpkg -i megacli_8.07.14-2_all.deb- run MegaCli
`/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -h
yup that worked for me on Proxmox
Thanks alot !
Hi I'm wondering if someone can help me out
Followed all of the steps, but get
./libstorelibir-2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Internal Error.
ERROR:Could not detect controller.
Failed to get ControllerId List.
Failed to get CpController object.
I'm also using proxmox. Tnx

Follow the following steps and tell me if they work for you:
apt install apt-file
apt-file update
apt-file search libstorelibir-2.soIf you find the library, create a symbolic link:
ln -s /path/libstorelibir-2.so ./libstorelibir-2.soor you can also try to install just the library.
apt install libstorelibir-2
