-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Nm
-utility can be used to display or modify various parameters on LSI
-MegaRAID SAS RAID controllers.
-Each invocation of
-.Nm
-consists of zero or more global options followed by a command.
-Commands may support additional optional or required arguments after the
-command.
-.Pp
-Currently one global option is supported:
-.Bl -tag -width indent
-.It Fl u Ar unit
-.Ar unit
-specifies the unit of the controller to work with.
-If no unit is specified,
-then unit 0 is used.
-.El
-.Pp
-Volumes may be specified in two forms.
-First,
-a volume may be identified by its target ID.
-Second,
-on the volume may be specified by the corresponding
-.Em mfidX
-device,
-such as
-.Em mfid0 .
-.Pp
-Drives may be specified in two forms.
-First,
-a drive may be identified by its device ID.
-The device ID for configured drives can be found in
-.Cm show config .
-Second,
-a drive may be identified by its location as
-.Sm off
-.Op E Ar xx Ns \&:
-.Li S Ns Ar yy
-.Sm on
-where
-.Ar xx
-is the enclosure
-and
-.Ar yy
-is the slot for each drive as displayed in
-.Cm show drives .
-.Pp
-The
-.Nm
-utility supports several different groups of commands.
-The first group of commands provide information about the controller,
-the volumes it manages, and the drives it controls.
-The second group of commands are used to manage the physical drives
-attached to the controller.
-The third group of commands are used to manage the logical volumes
-managed by the controller.
-The fourth group of commands are used to manage the drive configuration for
-the controller.
-The fifth group of commands are used to manage controller-wide operations.
-.Pp
-The informational commands include:
-.Bl -tag -width indent
-.It Cm version
-Displays the version of
-.Nm .
-.It Cm show adapter
-Displays information about the RAID controller such as the model number.
-.It Cm show battery
-Displays information about the battery from the battery backup unit.
-.It Cm show config
-Displays the volume and drive configuration for the controller.
-Each array is listed along with the physical drives the array is built from.
-Each volume is listed along with the arrays that the volume spans.
-If any hot spare drives are configured, then they are listed as well.
-.It Cm show drives
-Lists all of the physical drives attached to the controller.
-.It Xo Cm show events
-.Op Fl c Ar class
-.Op Fl l Ar locale
-.Op Fl n Ar count
-.Op Fl v
-.Op Ar start Op Ar stop
-.Xc
-Display entries from the controller's event log.
-The controller maintains a circular buffer of events.
-Each event is tagged with a class and locale.
-.Pp
-The
-.Ar class
-parameter limits the output to entries at the specified class or higher.
-The default class is
-.Dq warn .
-The available classes from lowest priority to highest are:
-.Bl -tag -width -indent
-.It Cm debug
-Debug messages.
-.It Cm progress
-Periodic progress updates for long-running operations such as background
-initializations, array rebuilds, or patrol reads.
-.It Cm info
-Informational messages such as drive insertions and volume creations.
-.It Cm warn
-Indicates that some component may be close to failing.
-.It Cm crit
-A component has failed, but no data is lost.
-For example, a volume becoming degraded due to a drive failure.
-.It Cm fatal
-A component has failed resulting in data loss.
-.It Cm dead
-The controller itself has died.
-.El
-.Pp
-The
-.Ar locale
-parameter limits the output to entries for the specified part of the controller.
-The default locale is
-.Dq all .
-The available locales are
-.Dq volume ,
-.Dq drive ,
-.Dq enclosure ,
-.Dq battery ,
-.Dq sas ,
-.Dq controller ,
-.Dq config ,
-.Dq cluster ,
-and
-.Dq all .
-.Pp
-The
-.Ar count
-parameter is a debugging aid that specifies the number of events to fetch from
-the controller for each low-level request.
-The default is 15 events.
-.Pp
-By default, matching event log entries from the previous shutdown up to the
-present are displayed. This range can be adjusted via the
-.Ar start
-and
-.Ar stop
-parameters.
-Each of these parameters can either be specified as a log entry number or as
-one of the following aliases:
-.Bl -tag -width -indent
-.It Cm newest
-The newest entry in the event log.
-.It Cm oldest
-The oldest entry in the event log.
-.It Cm clear
-The first entry since the event log was cleared.
-.It Cm shutdown
-The entry in the event log corresponding to the last time the controller was
-cleanly shut down.
-.It Cm boot
-The entry in the event log corresponding to the most recent boot.
-.El
-.It Cm show firmware
-Lists all of the firmware images present on the controller.
-.It Cm show logstate
-Display the various sequence numbers associated with the event log.
-.It Cm show patrol
-Display the status of the controller's patrol read operation.

-.Ar drive
-as failed.
-.Ar Drive
-must be an online drive that is part of an array.
-.It Cm good Ar drive
-Mark
-.Ar drive
-as an unconfigured good drive.
-.Ar Drive
-must not be part of an existing array.
-.It Cm rebuild Ar drive
-Mark a failed
-.Ar drive
-that is still part of an array as a good drive suitable for a rebuild.
-The firmware should kick off an array rebuild on its own if a failed drive
-is marked as a rebuild drive.
-.It Cm drive progress Ar drive
-Report the current progress and estimated completion time of drive operations
-such as rebuilds or patrol reads.
-.It Cm drive clear Ar drive Brq "start | stop"
-Start or stop the writing of all 0x00 characters to a drive.

-or
-.Dq always .
-.It Cm write-cache Op Ar value
-Control the write caches on the physical drives backing
-.Ar volume .
-The
-.Ar value
-argument can be set to either

-.El
-.Pp
-.Sy Note:
-Not all volume types are supported by all controllers.
-.Pp

-as a hot spare.
-.Ar Drive
-must be in the unconfigured good state.
-If
-.Ar volume
-is specified,
-then the hot spare will be dedicated to arrays backing that volume.
-Otherwise,
-.Ar drive
-will be used as a global hot spare backing all arrays for this controller.
-Note that
-.Ar drive
-must be as large as the smallest drive in all of the arrays it is going to
-back.
-.It Cm remove Ar drive
-Remove the hot spare
-.Ar drive
