RAIDCFG Dependencies

For the RAIDCFG utility to run successfully in Windows PE, it requires that the mr2kserv utility is

located in the same directory as RAIDCFG. The RAIDCFG utility also requires that lsivil.dll

(for Windows) or lsivil.so (for Linux) and sasvil.dll (for Windows) or sasvil.dll (for Linux) be in the

same directory as RAIDCFG.

The mr2kserv is a service that is automatically started by the DTK startup script. This service is required

to configure all LSI RAID controllers in Windows PE. This will be automatically started by the DTK

startup script. This service provides Plug and Play support.
