®
RAID Controller Command Line Tool 2 User Guide
Preface
The Intel
®
RAID Controller Command Line Tool 2 utility is provided for UEFI*, DOS*, Linux*,
or Microsoft Windows* to configure and view a RAID controller, physical and logical drives,
initialize and perform consistency checks, and view the battery back-up status and event logs.
This utility is for SAS Software Stack products, including the Intel
®
RAID Controllers RS2BL080,
RS2BL080DE, RS2BL040, RS2PI008, RS2PI008DE, RS2MB044, RMS2MH080, RMS2AF080,
RMS2AF040, RT3WB080, RS2VB080, RS2VB040, RS2SG244, RS2WG160, RS25DB080,
SRCSAS18E, SRCSAS144E, SROMBSAS18E, SRCSASJV, SRCSASRB, SRCSATAWB,
SROMBSASFC, SROMBSASMP2, SROMBSASMR, SRCSASPH16I, SRCSASBB8I,
SRCSASLS4I, and onboard ICHx/ESB2 and 106x controllers under ESRTII mode (Linux* or
Microsoft Windows* only).
Notes:
 Only some commands and partial parameters are available on Intel
®
Embedded Server RAID
Technology II (ESB2, 1064E). For example, for both Set/Get Adapter Properties, only the RR,
Bgi CCRate, and Coercion are supported. The only disk enclosure supported is Enclosure 0
(E0).
 Some Intel
®
server systems don’t fully support DOS. The DOS version Intel
®
RAID Controller
Command Line Tool 2 could have limitation on some commands and partial parameters. The
DOS version Intel
®
RAID Controller Command Line Tool 2 is not fully supported on these
systems.
 If User Account Control (UAC) is enabled on Vista, you cannot communicate with the RAID
controller.
 Previous Software Stack 2 SCSI/SATA controllers should use the Intel
®
RAID Controller
Command Line Tool, not the Intel
®
RAID Controller Command Line Tool 2.
Syntax Notes
Most Intel
®
RAID Controller Command Line Tool 2 commands include a parameter that defines
the RAID controllers or drives to be affected by the command. The following syntax is used in in
this guide to refer to parameter choices that you must make when issuing commands:
 a[controller] or L[drive] means the following choices are available:
⎯ -a[controller] or -L[drive]: Issue the command for one RAID controller or drive where
[controller] or [drive] is replaced by the number of the RAID controller or drive
⎯ -a0,1,2 or -l0,1,2: Issue the command for two or more RAID controllers or drives where
0,1,2 are the RAID controllers or drives on which to issue the command
⎯ -aALL or -LALL: Issue the command for all RAID controllers or drives
 [E0:S0,E1:S1,……]: Specifies when one or more physical devices need(s) to be specified in
the command line. Each [E:S] pair specifies one physical device where E means device ID of
the enclosure in which a drive resides, and S means the slot number of the enclosure.
 { }: Indicates that the parameters are grouped and that they must given at the same time.
 [ ]: Indicates that the parameter is optional except when it is used to specify physical devices.
 | indicates a choice between parameters. See the list of parameters to determine the appropriate
selection
