Quick Reference Guide

CAUTION: If you change the controller from SCSI to RAID mode, data loss
may occur. Backup any data you must save before changing modes.
Example:
A:>syscfg --embscsiraid=raid
embscsiraid=raid
Applicable Systems All PowerEdge systems prior to PowerEdge 12G systems.
--embscsiraidchb
Option
--embscsiraidchb
Valid Arguments raid, scsi
Description
Sets the second channel on an embedded RAID controller to SCSI or RAID.
This option is only valid for 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
Applicable Systems All PowerEdge systems prior to PowerEdge 12G systems.
--embsdcardredundancy
Option
--embsdcardredundancy
Valid Arguments mirrormode, disable
Description
Sets the redundancy to mirrormode or disabled.
If set to mirrormode, read-write operation occurs on both the secure digital
(SD) cards. If one of the SD cards fails and is replaced, on booting, the data is
copied to that SD card.
If set to disable, read-write operation occurs only on SD card 1.
On Blade systems, disable the vflash key to configure this option.
Example:
A:>syscfg --embsdcardredundancy=mirrormode
embsdcardredundancy=mirrormode
Applicable Systems PowerEdge R810, R815, R910, and M910 systems
--extserial
Option
--extserial
Valid Arguments com1, com2, rad
Description
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.
