APG40C/4 磁盤陣列MEGARC指令介紹文檔
This is a command line based utility for LSI. This utility configures the given MegaRAID adapter in a non-interactive mode. It configures a single MegaRAID adapter at a time, based on command line options given by the user. For some options, operation can be performed on all adapters present on the system.

Features

•Supports following series of cards
40LD: 471/475/493/489/488/518/520/533/531/ZCR
8LD: 466/467/428/438/434/762
IDE-1000, SATA 523 and 4523 and 8X controllers
•Supported raid levels are
R0, R1, R3 and R5(with out span support)
R10, R30 and R50 (with span support)
R3 & R30 are disallowed on U320 mode adapters such as 518, 520 and 531
•Supported channels: up to 4 (channel no. 0,1,2 and 3)
•Supported drives: 16 for 8ld firmware, 256 for 40ld firmware
•Supports log file generation.
•Detects ongoing reconstruction (if any) on the adapter(s) and displays the message to the user.
-alladp option not supported for operations which can not be done while reconstruction is going on any adapter.
•Changes Cache Page settings
•Clear error history for the physical drive(s) on the adapter
•Display error history for the physical drive(s)
•Supports maximum of 40 arrays
•Allow user to configure free array space (if any) in already configured array.
•Display free array space information to the user.
•IDE support added

Objective of the utility is to:

•Configure a set of hard disks to the desired fresh configuration (span support also)
•Allow changes in existing configuration parameters such as Logical drive properties
•View logical/physical disk properties
•View Adapter Information: such as fw/bios ver, Dram size,#LogDrvs etc.
•View/Update Rebuild rate of adapter
•Enable/Disable/Silence/Display Alarm State
•Load/Save controller setup and parameters to file
•Display configuration and parameters from the file
•Load/Save controller setup to file
•Display configuration from the file
•Display configuration from the adapter
•Start rebuild, check rebuild status, stop rebuild
•Allow changes in physical disk properties (make online/offline/hotspare/fail)
•Change auto rebuild status of adapter (on/off)
•Set factory defaults on adapter
•Clear existing configuration of adapter
•Add configuration to the existing configuration of adapter
•Enable/Disable/Show bios status of adapter
•Perform check consistency on logical drives
•Displays physical drive info and board serial for given adapter
•Sets/Displays channel transfer rate for given adapter
•Appends the info to the existing log file.
•Displays disk spin up parameters for given adapter
•Initialize logical drives
•Change cluster state of adapter(When cluster is enabled, bios is disabled)
•Set Initiator id to given value
•Enable/Disable Fast initialization for an adapter
•Enable/Disable Flex Raid power fail for an adapter
•Set emulation mode to I2O/Mass storage
•Set disk spin up parameters for an adapter
•Set flush time interval for an adapter
•Enable/Disable Force Boot for an adapter
•Enable/Disable/View Pci multiple delay transition
•Enable/Disable/View coercion flag for an adapter

Usage:
megarc –help: gives help on all available command line options of the utility.
mgarc –option-help : gives detailed help on the option.

Restrictions:
Utility supports operations only on a single MegaRAID adapter specified on command line. Only for few
options, utility supports operation for all present adapters on the system.
User cannot specify the logical drive size parameter on command line for the new and add configuration
option with span support.
