mpt-status not working

[mschering]

Hi,

I have a HP DL 120 G5 server with a:

09:00.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1064ET PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS (rev 08)

Raid controller.

I'm Using proxmox version 1.6 and tried to install mpt-status with apt-get install mpt-status.

After installing I tried the command mpt-status and it said:
vm1:/etc/init.d# mpt-status
open /dev/mptctl: No such file or directory
  Try: mknod /dev/mptctl c 10 220
Make sure mptctl is loaded into the kernel

So then I tried:

vm1:/etc/init.d# modprobe mptctl
FATAL: Error inserting mptctl (/lib/modules/2.6.32-4-pve/kernel/drivers/message/fusion/mptctl.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

My kernel is:

Linux vm1 2.6.32-4-pve #1 SMP Fri Oct 15 09:47:24 CEST 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux


Does anybody know how to get it to work?

Thanks in advance!

modprobe mptctl works here (but I have no hp server).

Thanks, I figured it out. I attempted to install the hp utilities first but it turned out the DL 100 series are not supported. I forgot to remove one of those packages and removing that package fixed it.
