The megaraid tool uses are described in the following table, along with parameter explanations.

megaraid -alarm -on -off -silence

Turns the alarm on, off, or to silence. When the alarm is set to silence, it turns off for the current failure, but will turn on again for the next failure.

megaraid -changepolicy ld [-writecache enable disable] [-readahead on

off adaptive] [-iopolicydirect cached] [-logfile]

Changes the policy of an existing logical drive. The parameter ld is the logical drive ID. This option applies to all RAID levels; however, the policies apply only to individual logical drives.

megaraid -changestate pd -online -fail [-log file]

Changes the state of an existing physical drive to online or fail.

megaraid -chkcon ld -start -stop -status [-log file]

megaraid -create auto [-numld n] [-log file]

Automatically destroys all current configured logical drives and creates a RAID level based on the physical drive or drives present. It can create from 1 to 40 logical drives, depending on the number of logical drives (numld n) parameter. By default numld is 1.
