lsidrivemap

Owners of a IBM M1015 / LSI 9220-8i controller can use this utility to map controller ports to drives.

I have a 24 bay disk chassis and use it to create a physical map of which drive is in which slot.

The tool can also show the temperature of the drive.

Example output:

root@nano:~# lsidrivemap temp

| 35 | 36 | 37 | 36 |

The wwn name of a drive is found in /dev/disk/by-id/

Customization

The output is based on my 24 bay drive chassis that has six rows of four drives. You may need to customise the 'print_controller' function to suit your own needs.

Known Issues

The script reads the WWN serial from the drive and uses it to find the drive name in /dev/disk/by-id. If the megacli command does not return a WWN, which happens on older WD drives for me, no data is returned.
