1.解压之后把VmwareMN文件夹中的vmware-esx-MegaCli-8.07.07.vib文件传到服务器/tmp目录下面

2.执行命令
esxcli software vib install -v /tmp/vmware-esx-MegaCli-8.07.07.vib --no-sig-check
mkdir -p /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli
cd /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli
ln -s /opt/lsi/MegaCLI/MegaCli MegaCli64
ln -s /opt/lsi/MegaCLI/libstorelib.so libstorelib.so
/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -LDinfo -Lall -aAll

/opt/lsi/MegaCLI/MegaCli -LDinfo -Lall -aAll

3.相关命令（所有系统下都可以使用）
/opt/lsi/MegaCLI/MegaCli -LDinfo -Lall -aAll
mkdir -p /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli
cd /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli

/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli -LDinfo -Lall -aAll 查看raid状态
/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli -PDList -aAll 查看每块物理磁盘信息（可以看到具体哪块磁盘出问题）
/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -PDList -aAll | grep "Firmware state:"
/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -PDList -aAll | grep "Raw Size:"
/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -PDList -aAll | grep "Slot Number:"
