Chapter 6
Integrated RAID
Configuration Utility
This chapter explains how to use the CFGGEN Integrated RAID (IR)
Configuration Utility to create Integrated Mirroring (IM), Integrated
Mirroring Enhanced (IME) and Integrated Striping (IS) volumes.
CFGGEN is a command line utility that runs in the DOS, Linux, EFI, and
Windows Pre-Installation (WinPE) environments. CFGGEN can be
executed from a command line prompt or a shell script. The result from
invoking this utility is communicated via the program status value that is
returned when the program exits.
CFGGEN can be used to create IM, IME, and IS storage configurations
on both SCSI controllers and SAS controllers.
This chapter contains the following sections:
•
Section 6.1, “Hardware and Software Requirements”
•
Section 6.2, “CFGGEN Interface Description”
•
Section 6.3, “CFGGEN Commands”
Note: CFGGEN is intended for use primarily in the manufacturing
environment. End users can use the BIOS-based
configuration utilities to create IM and IS volumes. (See
Chapter 7, “SCSI BIOS and Setup Utility,” Chapter 8, “SCSI
EFI BIOS and Setup Utility,”
and Chapter 9, “Fusion-MPT
SAS BIOS and Setup Utility.” )
6.1 Hardware and Software Requirements
The CFGGEN IR Configuration Utility runs on any Intel IA-32 or IA64
compatible platform. It operates with any SCSI, SATA, or SAS device that
is compliant with existing SCSI standards. CFGGEN supports the
following LSI controllers:
