3ware SATA+SAS RAID Controller Card CLI Guide, Version 10.2

Example:

When adding (creating) a unit to the controller by using the

following command string,

/c1 add type=raid1 disk=0-1

c1

is the object,

add

is the command,

type

(for type of array) is an attribute

with

raid1

as the value of the attribute, and

disk

is another attribute with

0-1

as the value (ports 0 through 1).

Commands act on different objects, for example shell objects, controller
objects, unit objects, and other objects. Information about these commands is
organized into sections about each object.

Shell Object Commands.

Shell object commands set the focus or provide

information (such as alarms, diagnostics, rebuild schedules, and other
functions) about all controllers in the system. For details, see “Shell Object
Commands” on page 25.

Controller Object Commands.

Controller object commands provide

information and perform actions related to a specific controller. For example,
you use controller object commands for such tasks as viewing a list of alarms
specific to a controller, creating schedules during which background tasks are
run, and setting policies for the controller. You can also use the controller
object command /cx add to create RAID arrays. For details, see “Controller
Object Commands” on page 30.

Unit Object Commands.

Unit object commands provide information and

perform actions related to a specific unit on a specific controller. You can use
unit object commands for a number of tasks, for example, to see the rebuild
verify, or initialize status of a unit; to start or stop verifies; to start rebuilds; to
set policies for the unit, and to perform other tasks related to the unit. You also
use the controller object command
/cx/ux migrate to change the configuration of a RAID array. For details, see
“Unit Object Commands” on page 71.

Phy Object Commands.

Phy object commands provide information and

perform actions related to a specific phy on a 9750 or 9690SA controller.

Port Object Commands.

Port object commands provide information and

perform actions related to a drive on a specific port or vport. You can use port
object commands for such tasks as viewing the status, model, or serial number
of the drive. For details, see “Port Object Commands” on page 92.

BBU Object Commands.

BBU object commands provide information and

perform actions related to a Battery Backup Unit on a specific controller. For
details, see “BBU Object Commands” on page 103.

Enclosure Object Commands.

Enclosure object commands provide

information and perform actions related to a particular enclosure. For
example, you can use enclosure object commands to see information about an
enclosure and its elements (slots, fan, and temperature sensor elements).
