[SOLVED] command line tool for Broadcom SAS HBA 9300-8i

[sherminator]

Hi there,

we have seven SSDs behind the HBA mentioned above. How can I find out the mapping between a physical slot and the disk inside Proxmox VE/Debian Buster?
A long time ago I used storcli, but I can't find it anymore. Is this tool deprecated? Do you know other tools to handle this?

Thanks and greets
Stephan

I think I get it:

At the Broadcom website you can download the archive SAS3IRCU_P16 - seems to be the current command line tool. Inside this archive you can find

SAS3IRCU_P16/sas3ircu_rel/sas3ircu/sas3ircu_linux_x64_rel/sas3ircu

Make it executable and start it listing all available controllers, in my case:

# ./sas3ircu list

Then take the Index number for displaying all devices connected to this controller:

[...}

Here you can see the slot number of a certain disk and its serial number.

With the help of

smartctl -a /dev/sdX | grep 'Serial'

you can find out which block device has which serial number and viola - get the mapping to the physical slot.

Hope that helps anybody anytime.
