Advanced commands
Controller=ALL
You can use Controller=All instead of the Slot=N command.
Advantages
• You do not need to determine where controllers are installed.
• You can target all controllers at once.
Examples
Change read cache to 100% on all controllers (only configured controllers, those with volumes, accept this
command):
Controller=ALL
ReadCache=100
Clear the configuration on all controllers:
Controller=ALL
ClearConfigurationWithDataLoss=Yes
Controller=First
You can use Controller=First instead of the Slot=N command.
Advantages
• You do not need to determine where controllers are installed.
• You can target the first controller found, a common practice with embedded controllers, because they
are always slot 0. (Controllers are sorted by slot number, lowest to highest, and internal controllers
before external ones.)
Example
Configure a volume on the embedded controller (or the controller in the lowest slot number, if an embedded
controller does not exist):
Controller=First
Array=A
Drive=1E:1:1, 1E:1:2
LogicalDrive=1
RAID=1
-internal or -external
You can use the command line option -internal or -external instead of the default option, which is
both internal and external controllers.
