Example 1 – To display a list of available commands for the configuration utility use:
Shell> rcfgsata
Or
Shell> rcfgsata /?
Example 2 – To display a list of available commands for RCfgScu.efi:
Shell> rcfgscu
Results in:
Intel(R) UEFI RAID Utility for SCU - v3.6.0.1006
RCfgScu.efi [/?] [/Y] [/Q] [/C:vol_name] [/SS:strip_size] [/L:raid_level]
[/S:vol_size] [/DS:disk_id] [/D:vol_name]
