To get MegaCLI running on my Unraid server I did the following:

1. Downloaded MegaCLI for linux from here:

https://docs.broadcom.com/docs-and-downloads/raid-controllers/raid-controllers-common-files/8-07-14_MegaCLI.zip

1. Unzipped the file on a Windows machine
2. Found the RPM file for Linux in the archive and used 7z to unpack the RPM file.
3. Copied all three files in the RPM to a folder on Unraid
4. Opened an SSH to the server and changed directory to where I placed the files
5. Ran: chmod 777 MegaCli64
6. Ran: ./MegaCli64 -h
7. Enable JBOD on the controller

/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -AdpSetProp -EnableJBOD 1 -a0

1. Put drives in “UnconfiguredGood” state

/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -pdmakegood -physdrv [252:0,252:1,252:2,252:3,252:4,252:5] -force –a0

1. Make drives JBOD

/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -pdmakejbod -physdrv [252:0,252:1,252:2,252:3,252:4,252:5] –a0
