devices along with any potential RAID group association.

BlockDevInfo [BlockDevID | all]

WARNING:

The BlockDevIdentify command is intended

for diagnostic purposes only. Executing this command may

adversely impact the performance and throughput of the Fusion
storage system for the time that the LED is illuminated.

WARNING:

Using CLI without contacting a Sonnet

technician is not recommended because changing

parameters may cause loss of data and/or disruption to
performance and reliability of the Fusion storage system.

WARNING:

All RAID group setup information is lost

when the BlockDevClean command is performed,

therefore all data is lost. Back up your files before performing
this command.
