HP A7143A RAID160 SA Controller Support Guide, February 2007

Troubleshooting
The sautil Command
Chapter 6
82
sautil <device_file>
The sautil <device_file> command output provides detailed information on the RAID 160 SA controller,
any logical drives that have been configured, and all SCSI devices that are attached to the controller.
There is a -s option for this command that provides a shorter and less detailed output. An example of the
sautil <device_file> -s command output can be found in “RAID160 SA Controller Firmware” on page 49.
For troubleshooting purposes the sautil <device_file> command, illustrated in the following example, is
preferable....the Logical Drive Summary and the SCSI Device Summary, which have been highlighted for
emphasis, are particularly useful for troubleshooting:
# sautil /dev/ciss6
