Unraid LSIUtil Plugin

An Unraid plugin for monitoring LSI SAS Host Bus Adapters (HBA) — specifically the LSI 9207-8i / SAS2308 family — using the bundled lsiutil utility. No internet access is required after the single package download.

Features

• Temperature gauge — real-time HBA temperature with configurable alert threshold and Unraid notification
• PCIe info — link width, speed, power mode, and PCI location
• PHY Health — per-port SAS link state and error counters (invalid DWords, disparity, loss-of-sync, resets)
• Attached Drives — drive list with SAS addresses, PHY assignment, and OS device names (/dev/sdX)
• Event Log — HBA firmware event log entries
• Dashboard tile — at-a-glance temperature on the Unraid dashboard (Unraid 7.2+)
• Settings — lsiutil port selection, alert threshold, and panel toggles

All data is read directly from the HBA via lsiutil and Linux sysfs — no agents, no polling daemons, no external calls.

Requirements

• Unraid 6.12 or newer (Unraid 7.2+ for the dashboard tile)
• LSI SAS controller supported by mpt2sas or mpt3sas kernel driver
  • Tested on: LSI 9207-8i (SAS2308)
  • Should work on: 9211-8i, 9205-8i, 9201-16i, and other SAS2x08-family cards
• The lsiutil binary is bundled inside the .txz package — nothing else is downloaded

Building from Source

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/DevlinDelFuego/Unraid-LSIUtil.git
cd Unraid-LSIUtil

# Build the .txz package (requires tar, gzip)
mkdir -p pkg
cp -a source/* pkg/
cd pkg
makepkg ../lsiutil.txz        # or: tar -cJf ../lsiutil.txz .
cd ..

# Update the MD5 in lsiutil.plg
md5sum lsiutil.txz

The lsiutil.x86_64 binary inside the package is the original lsiutil v1.70 compiled for Linux x86-64.
