'modprobe mptctl' should fix the issue. It looks like the dev node is there, but not accessible. So some program created the node which is what OMSA checks before it attempts to install the control driver.

I have an issue with a Dell R610 server which has an integrated SAS controller (SAS 6/i Controller). Now the problem i am having with this SAS 6/i (non-perc) is, that OMSA doesn't see the controller at all. When i check the dmesg, i see the following info: megasas: 00.00.04.01 Thu July 24 11:41:51 PST 2008 Driver 'sd' needs updating - please use bus_type methods Fusion MPT base driver 3.04.07 Copyright (c) 1999-2008 LSI Corporation Fusion MPT SAS Host driver 3.04.07 mptsas 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 mptbase: ioc0: Initiating bringup ioc0: LSISAS1068E B3: Capabilities={Initiator} mptsas 0000:03:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 scsi0 : ioc0: LSISAS1068E B3, FwRev=00192f00h, Ports=1, MaxQ=266, IRQ=16 scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access SEAGATE ST973402SS S229 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 scsi 0:0:1:0: Direct-Access SEAGATE ST973402SS S229 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 scsi 0:1:0:0: Direct-Access Dell VIRTUAL DISK 1028 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 This is what lspci shows: lvs1:~# lspci |grep LSI 03:00.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1068E PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS (rev 08) The MPT support is compiled within the kernel, so no modules. Yet, when i use lsiutil or the mpt-status the following pops up.. lvs1:/usr/local/src# ./lsiutil.x86_64 LSI Logic MPT Configuration Utility, Version 1.60, July 11, 2008 FATAL: Module mptctl not found. /bin/mknod: `/dev/mptctl': File exists Couldn't open /dev/mptctl or /dev/mpt2ctl! 0 MPT Ports found lvs1:/usr/local/src# mpt-status open /dev/mptctl: No such device Are you sure your controller is supported by mptlinux? Make sure mptctl is loaded into the kernel lvs1:/usr/local/src# lsmod |grep mptctl lvs1:/usr/local/src# Looking at these errors, i am wondering if its required to use module based drivers for these controllers or not? And then we have also have OMSA: lvs1:~# omreport storage controller No controllers found Does anyone have had a similar problem? or better yet, know how to fix this issue? Thanks in advance people..
