This chapter describes commands of the raidcmd.

Notice on specifying Physical Device number

The -p option for raidcmd is used to specify the Physical Device number.

Be sure to execute the following command to check the Physical Device number before you use the option.

The format of Physical Device number is “e<enclosure-number>s<slot-number>”.
