SYSCFG 35
--embscsiraid raid, off, scsi This option enables or disables the embedded SCSI RAID controller.
This option is only valid for supported systems that have SCSI ROMB.
Some systems do not support the scsi argument. This option can be replicated.
NOTICE: If you change the controller from SCSI to RAID mode, data loss
may occur. Backup any data you need to save before changing modes.
Example:
A:>syscfg --embscsiraid=raid
embscsiraid=raid
--embscsiraidchb raid, scsi This option sets the second channel on an embedded RAID controller to
SCSI or RAID. This option is only valid for supported systems that support
RAID/RAID and RAID/SCSI settings for channels A and B. This option can
be replicated.
Example:
A:>syscfg --embscsiraidchb=raid
embscsiraidchb=raid
--extserial com1, com2,
rad
This option sets the behavior of the external serial connector. When set to
com1, the BIOS maps the external serial connector to COM port 1. The com1
setting is the default.
When set to com2, the external serial connector is routed to the COM2
interface. Terminal escape sequences can toggle the external connector
between the system (COM2) and the remote access device.
When set to rad, the external serial connector is routed to the remote access
device interface. Terminal escape sequences can toggle the external connector
between the system (COM2) and the remote access device.
This option can be replicated.
NOTE: This option is not supported on PowerEdge 1955 systems.
Example:
A:>syscfg --extserial=com1
extserial=com1
On Dell PowerEdge x9xx systems, the --serialcomm option can be used with
the external serial (--extserial) option instead of the --conred option.
