The dependent library libsysfs.so.2.0.1 not available. Please contact LSI for distribution of the package

 
If using nwraidutil.pl version [2015.12.01] or later, you may see something like the following at the start of the output:

/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 adpallinfo 
OSSpecificInitialize: Failed to load libsysfs.so.2.0.2 Please ensure that libsfs is present in the system.
The dependent library libsysfs.so.2.0.1 not available. Please contact LSI for distribution of the package

Cause

These errors are caused by missing x86_64 library files or missing symbolic links (symlinks).

Resolution

1. Download the following two files:

lsi_libs_x86_64.tar.bz2
lsi_libs_verify.sh

2. Transfer the files to the appliance.
3. Decompress lsi_libs_x86_64.tar.bz2:

tar xvjf lsi_libs_x86_64.tar.bz2 -C /opt/lsi/3rdpartylibs

4. Make the script executable:

chmod +x lsi_libs_verify.sh

5. Run the script:

./lsi_libs_verify.sh
