Do not +specify the path to a device node. +.Pp +.Bl -tag -width status +.It status +Print the status of controllers and system drives. If one or more drives are specified, +only print information about these drives, otherwise print information about all controllers +and drives in the system. With the +.Fl v +flag, display much more verbose information. +With the +.Fl q +flag, do not print any output. This command returns 0 if all drives tested are online, 1 +if one or more drives are critical and 2 if one or more are offline. +.It rescan +Rescan one or more controllers for non-attached system drives (eg. drives that have been +detached or created subsequent to driver initialisation). If the +.Fl a +flag is supplied, rescan all controllers in the system. +.It detach +Detach one or more system drives. Drives must be unmounted and not opened by any other +utility for this command to succeed. If the +.Fl a +flag is supplied, detach all system drives from the nominated controller. +.It check +Initiate a consistency check and repair pass on a redundant system drive (eg. RAID1 or RAID5). +The controller will scan the system drive and repair any inconsistencies. This command +returns immediately; use the +.Ar status +command to monitor the progress of the check. +.It config +Print the current configuration from the nominated controller. This command will be +updated to allow addition/deletion of system drives from a configuration in a future +release. +.It help +Print usage information for +.Ar command. +.Sh BUGS +The +.Ar config +command does not yet support modifying system drive configuration. +.Pp +Error log extraction is not yet supported. +.Sh AUTHORS +The mlxcontrol utility was written by +.An Michael Smith +.Aq msmith@FreeBSD.org . + -- cgit v1.1
