Command Line Interface
Introduction
The Command Line Interface (CLI) allows you to configure and
manage controller components. The CLI contains most of the
functionality offered by Adaptec Storage Manager, plus some
additional functionality not offered by Adaptec Storage Manager.
CLI commands allow you to automate testing or array creation in a
production environment using Windows command scripts and
Linux and Unix shell scripts.
This appendix describes briefly some of the commands available in
the CLI. For a full description of all the CLI commands, refer to the
Command Line Interface Reference Guide.
Terminology
This section discusses terminology used in this Appendix.
Adaptec 2410SA/2810SA Controllers Only
In the device ID format
C:ID:L
:
■ C represents Channel, which is always zero.
■ ID represents Port ID, or Port number, on the SATA RAID
controller. This is the only value that is used.
■ L represents LUN, which is always zero.
Note: Only the value for Port ID is used.
Adaptec 21610SA Controllers Only
In the device ID format
C:ID:L
:
■ C represents Channel.
■ ID represents Port ID. (For mapping, see below.)
■ L represents LUN, which is always zero.
Your Serial ATA adapter maps Port IDs as follows:
■ Controller ports 0 through 7 are mapped to IDs 0 through 7 on
Channel 0
■ Controller ports 8 through 15 are mapped to IDs 0 through 7 on
Channel 1
For example, port 5 is 0:5:0; port 12 is 1:4:0.
