Holy crap! You sir, are awesome! I will try this out this weekend and report my results!
Thanks!

Well... mixed results. I was able to get everything installed, and the GUI even launches. But it does not find my server. I have tried having it goto 127.0.0.1 but no luck. It still will not pickup my SAS card.

Any suggestions? I have tries running the MSM as root and everything.

Are you using amd64 architecture? I did some testing and actually does not seem to find any server on amd64 .

[BooDaddy]

Yes, I am indeed running 64 bit. Oh well. Was so close Maybe someone will get this working on 64 bit, as thats a bit above my knowledge level

[BooDaddy]

Well,
I just tried this on another machine I built. This time I am using Ubuntu Server 10.10 32 bit. I have ubuntu-desktop installed, and followed the directions that JD82 posted.

MSM launches, but it never is able to connect to the card. I have tried 127.0.0.1 as the host and still doesnt find it. Any suggestions?

What other packages could you suggest JD82?

I just wanted to add my little bit in here. I noticed that after applying several fixes referenced in this thread, the /etc/init.d/mrmonitor was still not functioning properly. I found that this was due to the lack of a 32-bit comparability library on my system.

I found that there is no such library in debian/ubuntu so I did the next best thing. I search around for the libstdc++5 package to install on my system.

I found it here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/...dc++5/download

And installed it via the command:

dpkg --force-architecture libstdc++5_3.3.6-20_i386.deb

Previously mrmonitor was providing an error about libstdc++.5.so and saying No such file or directory.

A symlink to the .6.so didn't work out so I installed the 32bit version of .5.so and the error message no longer appears.

I'm now having difficulties getting the client software to see the server like most others in this thread.

I was able to get it to work. However, I ended up using Intel's RAID Web Console 2.

I found that the key to getting it to work is setting up the libraries so that they're functioning.

For me the key library was libxerces-c.so.28. This library came along with Intel RAID Web Console 2 in a separate RPM in an apache directory.

I symlinked the library into my /usr/lib and then did ldconfig, restarted the services and afterwards the controller was listed.

# ln -s /opt/lsi/Apache/libxerces-c.so.28 /usr/lib/libxerces-c.so.28
# ldconfig

# ldd /usr/local/bin/mrmonitord
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xf771a000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib32/libdl.so.2 (0xf76fa000)
        librt.so.1 => /lib32/librt.so.1 (0xf76f1000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib32/libpthread.so.0 (0xf76d7000)
        libxerces-c.so.28 => /usr/lib/libxerces-c.so.28 (0xf72c8000)
        libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.6 (0xf71d2000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib32/libm.so.6 (0xf71ac000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib32/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xf718d000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib32/libc.so.6 (0xf7032000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf771b000)

Damn, not working in 10.10 maveric 64bit. Have you figured this out yet? Seems to be the same as with everyone else, no server found. Vivaldiframework does start, and mrmonitor tries to, but according to syslog it does not find my controller!
