Appendix C: Using the AFU for DOS ● 63
Example
This example shows a typical system response to a LIST command:
A:\> AFU LIST
Adaptec Flash Utility
(c)Adaptec Inc.
Controllers Detected and Recognized:
Controller #0 (03:01:00) Adaptec
SAVE
The SAVE command saves the contents of a HostRAID controller’s flash in a UFI file. The name of the UFI file is based on the HostRAID controller type and cannot be changed.
Command Syntax
The command syntax for the SAVE command is as follows:
AFU SAVE [/C<Controller ID>] [/D <UFI File Path>]
Command Switches
The following switches are available:
●/C <Controller ID> is one or more HostRAID controller IDs representing the set of controllers on which to perform the specified command. The default is 0, which means that if the computer has multiple HostRAID controllers, the AFU defaults to controller 0 unless you specify otherwise.
You can specify a single HostRAID controller ID, for example:
/C 0
multiple IDs separated by commas, for example:
/C 0,2
or ALL to indicate all HostRAID controllers.
Note: If you are using multiple HostRAID controllers, you must specify the controller you want by using the /C switch; otherwise, the AFU displays an error message and exits. You cannot select ALL HostRAID controllers when specifying SAVE.
●/D <UFI File Path> specifies the path (drive and directory) where the UFI files are located. If you do not specify the /D switch, the AFU looks for, or creates, UFI files in the default location.
Note: You cannot specify the name of a UFI file, only its path. UFI filenames are predefined, based on the HostRAID controller type.
Examples
In the following example, the AFU saves flash contents from HostRAID controller 0 to a UFI file in the current default drive and directory:
A:\> AFU SAVE /C 0
In the following example, the AFU saves flash contents from Controller 1 to a UFI file in C:\UFI_FILES.
A:\> AFU SAVE /C 1 /D C:\UFI_FILES
