6.3.7 ENABLEIR Command
The ENABLEIR command enables Integrated RAID functionality on an
LSI1064/1064E or LSI1068/1068E controller. This is done by clearing the
MPI_IOUNITPAGE1_DISABLE_IR bit in the IO Unit 1 MPT Configuration
Page.
If there are any existing IM, IME, or IS volumes when this command is
run, CFGGEN notifies you via an output message, no action is taken,
and CFGGEN returns SUCCESS. If Integrated RAID is already enabled
when this command is run, CFGGEN returns SUCCESS.
Command Line –
cfggen enableir
Parameters –
•
– Number of the SAS controller targeted by this
command.
Program Return Value –
0x00 SUCCESS: Command completed successfully.
0x01 FAILURE: Bad command line arguments or operational failure.
0x02 ADAPTER_NOT_FOUND: Specified adapter cannot be found.
6.3.8 FORMAT Command
The FORMAT command is used to perform a low-level format of a disk
drive. The drive cannot be a hot spare drive or a member of an IM, IME,
or IS volume.
Warning: A low-level format erases all data on the hard disk drive.
The FORMAT command cannot and should not be
interrupted; doing so may result in irreparable damage to
the hard disk drive.
Warning messages are displayed during the formatting, unless the
noprompt option is included on the command line. If you do not quickly
respond to a series of prompts, the command is aborted. The answers
are case sensitive and must be entered in upper case.
