DESCRIPTION

The sautil command is a support tool for the HP SmartArray RAID Controller Family. This command

allows the system administrator to perform tasks such as:

1) Retrieving RAID conﬁguration and status information for the controller, logical drive, physical

disk, cache, etc.;

2) Retrieving RAID driver information (driver state, trace log, statistics, etc.);

3) Downloading new revisions of controller or disk ﬁrmware;

4) Sending instructions to the ﬁrmware (reset controller, scan SCSI bus, etc.); and

5) Recreating the controller device ﬁle(s).

Prerequisites

Some of the

sautil options are intended for use by HP support personnel and require detailed

knowledge of the RAID SA driver or ﬁrmware to interpret the output.

Security Restrictions

sautil requires either the superuser privilege or DEVOPS, DACREAD, DACWRITE, and MLOCK

privileges. See privileges (5) for more information about privileged access on systems that support ﬁne-

grained privileges.

sautil(1M) sautil(1M) Options sautil recognizes the following options and parameters as indicated in the SYNOPSIS section above. Keyword options are order-dependent, but are not case-sensitive. device_file Most sautil options require a device file parameter, e.g., /dev/ciss6. The device file for a specific RAID SA controller can be determined from the ioscan -kfn output.

sautil(1M) sautil(1M) download_encl_fw fw_image encl_physical_drive_id This option downloads the specified firmware image file (fw_image ) to the storage enclosure processor. This option is supported on SAS Smart Array HBAs only. The image file name is case-sensitive. The firmware download process takes ten to fifteen minutes. All I/O to the controller are temporarily halted during this time.

USING INTERIM RECOVERY MODE Also known as "degraded" state. A physical disk in a fault tolerant logical drive has failed. For RAID 1, 1+0 or 5, data loss may result if a second disk should fail. For RAID ADG, data loss may result if two additional disks should fail.
