Install Adaptec Storage Manager (ASM) For Adaptec 2420SA Card On Ubuntu System

Adaptec 2420SA is actually quite an old card and therefore when you check this link, there is no available package for Ubuntu system (i not sure whether latest ASM can use for old Adaptec card or not, if you have the information, please comment below).

So i downloaded the rpm package into my Ubuntu system and use alien to convert it into deb package.

sudo alien asm_linux_x64_v5_20_17414.rpm

sudo dpkg -i storman_5.20-1_amd64.deb

After finish installing, i change the arcconf permission to make it executable.

sudo chmod 744 arcconf

To check the card information, i run the following command

sudo /usr/StorMan/arcconf getconfig 1

If you encounter the following error when run the arrconf command, you need to install libstdc++5

/usr/StorMan/arcconf: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Install libstdc++5

sudo apt-get install libstdc++5
