Overview

This module just provide a simple way to install Megacli (MegaRaid management).

Module Description

Based on a default repository it will be easy to manage Megacli for Debian systems. If you want some Redhat/Fedora/Ubuntu support, please send repository URL :)

Setup

What megacli affects

  • A new sources.list file for Megacli.
  • Package for Megacli.

Usage

To begin using Megacli module with defaults parameters:

include megacli

New Debian Jessie

The default repository doesn't provide (yet?) a repository for the new Debian Stable (aka Jessie). Instead, we can use the Sid one:

  class { 'megacli':
    repo_suite => 'sid',
  }
