Multiple drive addresses on a command line must always be
separated by commas.
This switch can also be used to introduce a list of comma-separated
drive addresses in any command that uses such addresses. When
creating multilevel RAID10 or 50 arrays, separate drive groups
with a plus sign (+). The number of drives supported are listed
below:

-c, -d Specify controller ID
This switch specifies the RAID controller to which all subsequent
parameters will apply. It is required for all operations. You can
specify a device which is attached to the controller, from which the
controller number will be derived, or you can enter the relative
controller number directly.
■ Use –c to specify the controller using the ID assigned to the
controller by your operating system.
■ Use –d to specify the controller ID in BIOS format. Adaptec
controllers are numbered starting from 0 according to their PCI
slot location. The boot controller or the controller in the lowest
number PCI slot is ID d0.
