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.

When the device ﬁle parameter is speciﬁed without any options,

sautil will display

information such as the RAID SA driver state, controller hardware path, ﬁrmware revi-

sion, capacity expansion and rebuild priority settings, cache status and settings, logical

drive conﬁguration and physical drive properties.

When the optional

-N argument is speciﬁed, persistent device ﬁles (see intro (7)) are

displayed for logical drives.

When the optional

-s argument is speciﬁed, a subset of the information is displayed.

encl_physical_drive_id

To specify the storage enclosure processor. It can be represented as either

(connector

:enclosure:bay), such as: 1E:1:0 or (wwid), such as: 0x500000e010f16432.

fw_image To specify the ﬁrmware image ﬁle. The image ﬁle name is case-sensitive.

physical_drive_id

To specify the SCSI physical disk. It can be represented as (channel

:target), such as:

4:12. Valid channel numbers are between 1 and 4. Valid target numbers are between 0

and 15.

To specify the SAS/SATA physical disk. It can be represented as either

(connector

:enclosure:bay), such as: 2I:1:10 or (wwid), such as: 0x500000e010f16432.

ctlr_exp_id To specify the controller expander wwid.

accept_media_xchg

logical_drive number

This option grants permission to the controller to set the state of the speciﬁed failed logi-

cal drive (logical_drive_number) to "OK" and to set the states of all failed physical disks

that have been replaced via hot-plug exchanges to "OK".

WARNING: While this option preserves the RAID conﬁguration (logical drive

conﬁgurations, controller settings, etc.), data on the failed logical drive may have already

been compromised. If more disks have failed than the RAID level can accommodate, you

will need to restore your data from backup media.

clear_disk_err_log

physical_drive_id

This option clears error logs for the physical disk speciﬁed by physical_drive_id.

clear_disk_mp_stat

physical_drive_id

This option clears Measurement and Performance (M&P) statistics for the physical disk

speciﬁed by physical_drive_id.

clear_fw_err_log

This option clears the ﬁrmware error log of the RAID160 SA controller. It is not avail-

able for SmartArray 640x controllers.

clear_stat This option clears the statistics counters maintained by the RAID SA "ciss" driver.

download_ctlr_exp_fw fw_image ctlr_exp_id

This option downloads the speciﬁed ﬁrmware image ﬁle (fw_image ) to the controller

expander. 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.

download_ctlr_fw fw_image

This option downloads the speciﬁed ﬁrmware image ﬁle (fw_image ) to the controller. The

image ﬁle name is case-sensitive. The ﬁrmware download process usually completes

within one minute, but could theoretically take up to eight minutes. All I/O to the con-

troller are temporarily halted during this time.

download_dev_fw fw_image physical_drive_id

This option downloads the speciﬁed ﬁrmware image ﬁle (fw_image ) to physical disk

speciﬁed by physical_drive_id. The image ﬁle name is case-sensitive.
