mfiutil: mfi_open: No such file or directory

Good morning all,

On an old Dell poweredge 1800 server (from 2006) I installed pfSense as a firewall. It is installed in RAID 1 mode on a PERC 4 controller

[...]
amr0@pci0:2:5:0:    class=0x010400 card=0x05201028 chip=0x19601000 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'LSI Logic / Symbios Logic'
    device     = 'MegaRAID'
    class      = mass storage
    subclass   = RAID
[...]

Lately one of the records has failed. I found an identical one (make, model, range) and before hot plugging it I was wondering about the reconstruction: will it resume on its own? If so, how to monitor from the OS without rebooting?

I saw that I had to use mfiutil but when I run

mfiutil show adapter

I've this message

mfiutil: mfi_open: No such file or directory

According to the mfiutil doc, PERC cards are supported from 5 and for the previous ones it is the amr driver that does the job but suddenly I don't know if it's still mfiutil that I should use or another tool to monitor reconstruction.

I add that I don't have a DRAC card and I just have ipmi enabled but it only returns motherboard and chassis info.

Do you have a lead?

Thank you in advance.

P.S .: I know very little about the BSD universe

Maybe try: mfiutil -u amr0 show adapter

Hello,

thank you for your answer but unfortunately I get the same error.

It may simply not be compatible with that utilty then.
