Where is the mfiutil

Good question. I thought there is a hidden place somewhere (over the rainbow)...
Then is there any way to communicate with a hardware raid controller, I mean is there any general tool for it? I would like to check the disk health via the controller...

thank you

Well, if it's not available for download, where else might it be? ;)

It looks to me like it's part of the base installation, not in the ports:
Code: 
jimmy@jmobile:~ % which mfiutil
/usr/sbin/mfiutil
jimmy@jmobile:~ %
 
Thank you very much
I would like to use it on an another FreeBSD-based OS, which hasn't got it. So I would like to get the package (which includes it), transfer and install on that system (hoping there is no other dependencies). Is there any way to get the binary file or the package that includes it?
Thank you
 
There is no package because it's part of the base OS. However, there is a sysutils/megacli port which provides the MegaCli command line tools. This is also downloadable from Avago's website.

Try copying /usr/sbin/mfiutil from an existing FreeBSD install, or you could extract it from e.g. http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/9.3-RELEASE/base.txz. It seems to just depend on libc and libutil.

If it's a choice between this and just using FreeBSD proper, just install and configure FreeBSD. It might be easier in the short-term to just copy a file over, but then again if this "FreeBSD-based" OS is incomplete, and the OP needs what FreeBSD itself has, well...

EDIT: Also, a reminder for @marypoppins . Bullet point 5 in the second list might be noteworthy.
