Help needed with LSI MegaRAID 9240-8i card

English Hardware
#1

Hopefully someone can help me with LSI MegaRAID 9240-8i card. I bought couple of those cards but cannot get them working in OpenSUSE (tumbleweed). Kernel seems to recognize the card (one card installed) but I cannot access the drive attached to it. The drive is not visible (I’ve created one virtual drive via WebBIOS of the card).

Is there need for specific drivers for the card? At least there are driver packages for e.g. SLES but not for OpenSUSE.

#2

Forgot to mention that I’ve installed MegaRAID Storage Manager but cannot get it to start. startupui.sh does not start any GUI software.

StorCLI and MegaCLI both cannot connect to the RAID controller saying that controller 0 not found.

#3

Anyone with any help on the topic?

Seems that kernel contains already the driver for the card.

But still cannot connect to the card with MegaCLI nor StorCLI. Also, I cannot get Storage Magager to start. Executing sh -x startupui.sh produces:

+ . /etc/init.d/msm_profile
++ MSM_HOME='/usr/local/MegaRAID Storage Manager'

and nothing happens…

Removed /dev/null directive from the startupui.sh and got following:
