Monitor and Manage CacheVault Modules

This chapter explains how to monitor and manage the MegaRAID CacheVault modules used with the MegaRAID

SAS controllers. You can use the following Broadcom MegaRAID utility programs to retrieve status information for CVPMs

used with MegaRAID controllers:

Storage Command Line Tool (StorCLI)

The command line management software designed for the MegaRAID product line.

Human Interface Infrastructure (HII) configuration utility

A tool for configuring controllers, physical disks, and virtual disks, and for performing other configuration tasks in a

pre-boot, Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) environment.

For more information about CacheVault functions in these utilities, refer to the 

MegaRAID SAS Software User Guide

,

which applies to 6Gb/s MegaRAID controllers, or the 

12Gb/s MegaRAID SAS Software User Guide

 for 12Gb/s MegaRAID

controllers.

Monitor CacheVault Module Information in StorCLI

The StorCLI utility supports the following CacheVault command, which identifies the specific controller to which a

CacheVault module is connected:

storcli /cx/cv show all

The object identifier 

/cx/cv

 refers to the CacheVault module on controller 

x

. Only one CacheVault module can connect

to a controller at a time.

NOTE

This command works only when a CacheVault module is connected to the controller; otherwise, an error

message appears.

Input example: 

storcli /c0/cv show all

where, 

c0

 identifies controller number 0.

Monitor CacheVault Module Information with the HII Configuration

Utility

You can use the HII Configuration utility to display information about the CVPM on the following 

Battery Management

screen. 

<SuperCaP>

 in the 

Type

 field refers to the CVPM.
