The commands are not case sensitive. The command descriptions use the following conventions:

Enter the text in italic exactly as shown on the command line.

Replace text enclosed in < > with a required parameter.

Replace text enclosed in [ ] with an optional parameter.

Enter parameters enclosed in { } one or more times, as required for the command being executed.

Do not enter the command-line definition characters < >, [ ], and { } on the command line.

This section describes command-line parameters that are common to more than one command.

<controller_#>

The unique controller number that the program assigns to each PCI function found on supported controller chips in the system, starting with controller # 0. For example, in a system containing two LSISAS2008 controllers, controller # 0 references the first controller and controller # 1 references the other controller.

Valid controller number values are 0 to 255 (decimal).

 

<Enclosure:Bay>

 

The enclosure and bay/slot of a peripheral device attached to the bus. The

 

argument must use a colon (:) as a separator and must follow the enclosure:bay

 

format. Enclosure is a 16-bit EnclosureHandle value set by the I/O controller (IOC). A

 

value of 0 is invalid. Bay/Slot is a 16-bit slot value set by the IOC. Use the DISPLAY

 

command to get the enclosure and slot numbers of a drive.

A.3.2 CREATE Command

The CREATE command creates Integrated RAID volumes on LSI SAS2 controllers.

 

When you add a disk to an Integrated RAID volume, the volume might not use all of the

 

 

disk’s storage capacity. For example, if you add a 300-GB disk drive to a volume that

 

only uses 200 GB of capacity on each disk drive, the volume does not use the remaining

 

100 GB of capacity on the disk drive.
