It works, but MSM can't find server on loopback (127.0.0.1)
MSM CAN find server only on external IP.
After setting password for root i can login from another machine (windows).
Under Linux i can login but MSM shows nothing except rotating circle.

(Ubuntu 11.04 x64)

3Ware FTW any day of the week. LSI sucks so hard. It is sad they acquired 3Ware and Intel uses them for their controllers too. All the tools are RPM and in many cases not x64. Get with it LSI.

At least Adaptec's software usually installs and works with minimal fuss. They just suck at updating FW for their cards. Would a 3Ware dev kindly step forward and smack the LSI team around to improve their software?!

Argh!

After much fiddling I was able to install the Megaraid Storage Manager on a clean install of 10.04.2 x64 server. This worked for me to be able to monitor the Intel SASUC8I cards in a couple of my servers which run on LSI 1068e. I'm sure this will work for monitoring other cards like the dell perc

Code:

#installing MSM on ubuntu 10.4.2 x64 server LTS
#you should enable universe repo before starting
#also, must enable root account to connect from gui
sudo passwd
mkdir msm
cd msm
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libc6-i386 lib32gcc1 lib32z1 lib32stdc++6 ia32-libs lib32icu42
wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gcc-3.3/libstdc++5_3.3.6-21ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libstdc++5_3.3.6-21ubuntu1_amd64.deb
wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gcc-3.3/libstdc++5_3.3.6-21ubuntu1_i386.deb
dpkg-deb -x libstdc++5_3.3.6-21ubuntu1_i386.deb lib32stdc++5
sudo cp ./lib32stdc++5/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.7 /usr/lib32
sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.5.0.7 /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.5
wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/x/xerces-c2/libxerces-c28_2.8.0+deb1-2build1_i386.deb
dpkg-deb -x libxerces-c28_2.8.0+deb1-2build1_i386.deb lib32xerces-c28
sudo mkdir -p /opt/lsi/Apache/
sudo cp ./lib32xerces-c28/usr/lib/libxerces-c.so.28.0 /opt/lsi/Apache/
sudo ln -s /opt/lsi/Apache/libxerces-c.so.28.0 /opt/lsi/Apache/libxerces-c.so.28
sudo ln -s /opt/lsi/Apache/libxerces-c.so.28 /usr/lib/libxerces-c.so.28
sudo ldconfig
wget https://launchpad.net/~ast/+archive/test7/+build/1977822/+files/megaraid-storage-manager_8.10-04_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i megaraid-storage-manager_8.10-04_amd64.deb

I was then able to connect to the server from a windows install of MSM (the one I used is at http://www.lsi.com/DistributionSyste...px?asset=56650 )
