About this CLI Guide

This manual, the 3ware SATA+SAS RAID Controller Card CLI Guide, Version
10.2
, provides instructions for configuring and maintaining your 3ware

®

controller card using the 3ware command line interface (CLI).

This manual describes CLI support for the LSI 3ware 9750, 9690SA, and
9650SE with Release 9.5.2 or newer.

If you have an earlier LSI™ 3ware controller (9590SE, 9550SX(U), 9500S or
a legacy 7000/8000 series board), refer to the CLI guide for your controller.
Documentation is available from the LSI website at

http://www.lsi.com/channel/ChannelDownloads

. You can still use many of

the CLI commands with earlier 3ware controllers, although not all commands
are supported on every controller. Earlier versions of the CLI Guide detail
which commands are supported on each controller model.

Before you can use the CLI, you must install your LSI 3ware RAID controller
card. For details, see the installation guide that came with your 3ware RAID
controller. The installation guide is available in PDF format on your 3ware
CD, or you can downloaded it from the LSI™ website at

http://www.lsi.com/channel/ChannelDownloads

.

Although this manual includes instructions for performing tasks using the
command line interface, you can also use the following applications:

3ware BIOS Manager (not applicable to the Mac OS

®

)

3DM2™ (3ware Disk Manager 2)

For details, see the user guide or the 3ware HTML Bookshelf.
