Save
Saves the contents of a RAID controller’s flash in a UFI file. The name of
the UFI file is based on the controller type and can’t be changed.
You must restart the computer following a SAVE command.
The command syntax for the SAVE command is
AFU
SAVE [/C<Controller ID>] [/D <UFI File Path>]
These switches are available:
●
/C <Controller ID>
—One or more RAID controller IDs
representing the set of RAID controllers on which to perform the
specified command. The default is 0; if the computer has multiple
RAID controllers, the AFU defaults to controller 0 unless you specify
otherwise.
For example:
To specify a single RAID controller ID:
/C 0
To specify multiple IDs separated by commas:
/C 0,2
To indicate all RAID controllers:
ALL
If you are using multiple RAID controllers, you must specify the
controller you want by using the /C switch; otherwise, the AFU
displays an error message and exits.
●
/D <UFI File Path>
—Specifies the path where the UFI files are
located. If you do not specify the /D switch, the AFU looks for (or
creates) its UFI files in the default location.
You cannot specify the name of a UFI file, only its path. UFI
filenames are predefined, based on the RAID controller type.
In this example, the AFU saves flash contents from RAID controller
0 to a UFI file in the current default drive and directory:
A:\> AFU SAVE /C 0
In this 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
