Appendix A
SAS2IRCU is a command-line utility that you can use to configure the Integrated RAID
functions of LSI SAS2 controllers. SAS2IRCU is a minimally interactive program that you
can execute from a command-line prompt or a shell script. When you use a SAS2IRCU
command, the program returns a status value to the operating system when it exits.
OEMs can use SAS2IRCU to configure Integrated RAID devices on the LSI family of
MPT2.0-based SAS2 controllers. You typically use this utility for system configuration
on the manufacturing floor.
NOTE: End users should not use the SAS2IRCU utility. Instead, they should use the LSI
SAS2 BIOS Configuration Utility (SAS2 BIOS CU) to create and manage Integrated RAID
volumes. For more information, see Chapter 3 and Chapter 5.
