Feature request: add support for storcli

[NielsH]

Hello,

Would it be possible to add support for storcli? See the following plugin which supports it, but the advantage of this script is that it's a single script to monitor all kinds of raid controllers:

https://github.com/thomas-krenn/check_lsi_raid

Thank you!

[glensc]

that plugin is GPLv3, while this one is GPLv2.

to my knowledge can't use that code from there. need to implement from scratch.

have you looked into Plugins dir? perhaps something already there?

too many mega plugins already there, they (lsi?) seem to invent different cli tool for every controller series?

• megacli.pm
• megarc.pm
• megaraid.pm

For what it seems, Broadcom (what they are called today) has basically moved to "Unified StorCLI" which unlike previous tools is now able to work with both full MegaRAID as well as entry-level "IR" Controllers and "IT" (plain HBAs) which previously required sas3ircu for SAS3 controllers and sas2ircu for SAS2 controllers. MegaCLI hasn't seen updated releases for a couple of years already, although it continued to work with SAS2 RAID cards, it might not work with SAS3 or later cards.

I can confirm that I could get rid of the specialized utilities at least for the LSI/Avago/Broadcom SAS3 controllers. I can't vouch for SAS2 based chips though.

I must admit, that check_lsi_raid has been a very good solution for many of these adapters lately for my usage.

It should be decided by @glensc whether or not StorCLI support should be a goal for check_raid (sas2ircu support could potentially be dropped) or if people with this kind of controllers should be pointed towards check_lsi_raid in the README.
