puppet-storcli
Puppet module to generate facts with types and providers to manage LSI MegaRAID controllers.
Table of Contents
- puppet-storcli
- [Table of Contents](#table-of-contents)
Description
This puppet module generate facts and provides types and providers to manage LSI MegaRAID controllers.
Setup
Setup Requirements
This module makes use of storcli. If running on a Dell server, the module will look to use perccli instead.
The package needs to be available from some repository to be installed.
Usage
include storcli
Optionally, to skip over configuration of the card.
storcli::configure_settings: false
Reference
Items not covered by puppet strings are provided below.
See REFERENCE for all other reference documentation.

Limitations
For now, this module only provides a custom fact and ways to deal with patrol read and consistency check.
This module does not provide the storcli or perccli packages, you must do that yourself. If the package provider can load them, they will be installed automatically.
The card configuration has not been tested on systems with multiple MegaRAID cards. It should work, but it will set all cards to identical values.
Minimum storcli/perccli versions:
PercCli SAS Customization Utility Ver 007.2313.0000.0000 Mar 07, 2023
StorCli SAS Customization Utility Ver 007.2508.0000.0000 Feb 27, 2023
Older versions may work, but may not...
