which storcli sudo find / -name storcli Install storcli

For ease of use find the storcli install and then create symbolic linking allowing the storcli to be launched from any folder.
sudo find / -name storcli cd /opt/MegaRAID/storcli sudo ln -s /opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 /usr/local/sbin/storcli Verify Installation
