About this CLI Guide
3ware SAS/SATA RAID Controller CLI Guide, Version 9.5.1
provides
instructions for configuring and maintaining your 3ware controller using
3ware’s command line interface (CLI).
This guide assumes that you have already installed your 3ware RAID
controller in your system. If you have not yet done so, see the installation
guide that came with your 3ware RAID controller for instructions.
AMCC makes a number of 3ware controller models, including 9000-series
(9690SA, 9650SE, 9590SE, 9550SX(U), and 9500S), and earlier 7000/8000
series boards. The Command Syntax described in this document supports all
of those boards, although not all commands are supported on every controller.
When a command is not supported for all controllers, the specific model
numbers that it applies to are indicated with the command.
There are often multiple ways to accomplish the same configuration and
maintenance tasks for your 3ware controller. While this manual includes
instructions for performing tasks using the command line interface, you can
also use the following applications:
•
3ware BIOS Manager
•
3DM
®
2 (3ware Disk Manager)
For details, see the user guide or the 3ware HTML Bookshelf.
