CFGGEN Utility

The cfggen utility is a command line utility that runs in the Linux, EFI, and Windows Pre-Installation
(WinPE) environments. It is a minimally interactive program that you run from a command line
prompt, or a shell script.
The results from invoking this utility are communicated through the program status value that is
returned when the program exits.

commands work only with SAS adapters in the EFI environment.
