Terminating program.
In the example above, you can see the FFx RAID engine is running 7.70 firmware and has 128MB of RAM. It is
attached to 16 Seagate disk drives. The first disk is a ST336605FC running firmware release 0004, and the serial
numbers and world-wide names are also displayed. There are 71132960 usable blocks, and it is configured for
channel 0 at hex ID #5. State is ONLINE. The subsystem also defines a single disk as a hot spare.
There are 9 logical devices, all of which are defined as RAID5 except for a single striped RAID0 LUN. All logical
devices are "Optimal" which means they are online and operating properly. If you had a drive failure, you might see
status of Critical, Rebuilding, or Off line.
In the example below, we instructed the engine to return all known events in the controller's internal event log. The
Mylex event log maintains the last 512 events and is volatile. That is, the log starts at event #0 at system power up
time. Power cycles reset the log. Our example shows the power-on sequence for a controller through an exercise
where we turned off each of the redundant power supplies to generate some events.
