November 2012
Interface Description
 Linux 2.6 Kernel - Red Hat® Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 and higher, SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 10 and higher
Requires the Linux driver v00.255.04.00 or greater. LSI recommends that you use the latest version of the driver
available on the LSI website.
 MS-DOS® 6.22 and FreeDOS 1.0
SAS2IRCU runs on DOS only if the system BIOS supports 32-bit BIOS services, including the PCI BIOS services.
SAS2IRCU uses these services to directly access the controller and its interface registers.
 Solaris 10 update 10, Solaris 11 express (CPU – x86 and x64)
Oracle® provides a built-in Solaris 10 driver for the LSI 3Gb/s and 6Gb/s SAS and SCSI adapters. Installation of an
LSI driver is not required. For information about installing the Oracle Solaris 10 driver, refer to the Oracle website.
Contact Oracle directly if you have questions about the Oracle driver.
 FreeBSD 7.2 and higher in both 32-bit and 64-bit architecture
 VMware® ESXi 5.0
2 Interface Description
Use this syntax for SAS2IRCU commands:
sas2ircu > <command> <parameters>
Use a space to separate the program name, the controller number, the command, and the parameters fields. The
format of
<parameters> is command specific.
Information passes between the user environment and SAS2IRCU through the command line, the standard output
and standard error interfaces, and the program return value. It is possible to redirect the output streams as permitted
by the operating system. When the program exits, it returns a value of 0 if the command is successful. Otherwise, it
returns a value of 1.
If a command fails, SAS2IRCU prints the IOCStatus and IOCLogInfo on the console. This information is useful in
determining the cause of the failure.
