Introduction to the 3ware
Command Line Interface
The 3ware SATA+SAS Controller Card Command Line Interface (CLI)
manages multiple 9750, 9690SA, and 9650SE 3ware RAID controllers.
This chapter includes the following sections:
•
“Features of the CLI” on page 2
•
“Installing the 3ware CLI” on page 2
•
“Working with 3ware CLI” on page 5
•
“Understanding RAID Levels and Concepts” on page 8
Note:
Older 3ware RAID controllers also share the vast majority of CLI commands.
Wherever possible, commands are labeled to indicate when they are supported for
only a subset of controllers.
For example, commands that apply only to 3ware 9000 series controllers are
labeled as such and are not supported for 3ware 7000/8000 controllers.
Within the 9000 series, some commands apply to only to models 9750, 9690SA and
9650SE, some apply to 9690SA, 9650SE, 9590SE, and 9550SX(U), but not to
9500S, and are so labeled. A few commands apply only to models 9500S, and are
labeled as such.
If a command is labeled as applying to the SX controller, it is available for both
9550SX and 9550SXU.
You may need to install particular firmware and drivers for some features to take
effect. See the Release Notes for details.
Important!
For all of the functions of the 3ware CLI to work properly, you must have the proper
CLI, firmware, and driver versions installed. For the latest versions and upgrade
