General Parameters; Command Syntax - Cisco UCS C220 M3 Configuration Manual

General Parameters

Following are some general parameters for MegaCLI:
Adapter parameter –aN
●
The parameter –aN, where N is a number starting with zero or the string ALL, specifies the adapter ID. If
you have only one controller, you can safely use ALL instead of a specific ID, but you're encouraged to use
the ID for anything that makes changes to your RAID configuration.
Physical drive parameter –PhysDrv[E:S]
●
For commands that operate on one or more physical drives, the parameter –PhysDrv[E: S] is used, where E
is the enclosure device ID in which the drive resides, and S is the slot number (stating with 0). The
enclosure device ID can be determined by using the command MegaCli –Enclinfo –aALL. The [E: S]
syntax is also used to specify the physical drives when you create a new RAID virtual drive
Virtual drive parameter –Lx
●
The parameter –Lx is used for specifying the virtual drive, where x is a number starting with 0 or the string
ALL.

Commands for Virtual Drive Management
● Create a RAID volume based on a single drive group (RAID 0, RAID 1, or RAID 5):
MegaCli –CfgLdAdd –r (#raid level#) [E: S] –aN
● Create a RAID volume based on double drive groups (RAID 10 or RAID 50):
