You can download mpt-status from http://freshmeat.net/projects/mptstatus/.
Run make and make install.
Then run:
mknod /dev/mptctl c 10 220
and
modprobe mptctl
Then run mpt-status
If mpt-status reports any issues, you can run
mpt-status -p
It will report information about the RAID controller. You can use it to run mpt-status with the -i flag.
Ex. mpt-status -i 2
A compiled mpt-status command can be downloaded from here:
