ARCCONF Commands Perform the following functions from the command line: copyback getlogs create getstatus datascrub getversion delete identify driverupdate failover modify getconfig rescan In the online command syntax, <> indicates a required parameter and [] indicates an Note: optional parameter. arcconf copyback Enables or disables the copyback feature, which attempts to keep drives in the original slot order after rebuilds.
arcconf create Creates a new logical drive or JBOD. You must provide the channel and device ID of the physical devices. On redundant logical drives, ARCCONF performs autosynchronization. ARCCONF presents JBODs as physical devices, not logical drives. Syntax ARCCONF CREATE <Controller#> LOGICALDRIVE [Options] <Size> <RAID#> <CHANNEL# DRIVE#>...
Channel# Drive# lists the space-delimited channel number and device number pairs for each device to add to the logical drive. Rvolume is the RAID level for a RAID volume logical drive. LD# is the logical drive numbers for two or more logical drives to be concatenated into the RAID volume.
Noprompt is an optional parameter that suppresses alert messages. Example ARCCONF DELETE 1 LOGICALDRIVE 1 2 3 ARCCONF DELETE 1 JBOD ALL arcconf driverupdate Updates Windows device drivers. When given a directory name, it will attempt to update a driver to the version found in the given directory. Note: This command is available only on Windows systems.
Enclosure information: fan, power supply, and temperature status ● Syntax ARCCONF CONFIG <Controller#> [AD|LD [LD#]|PD|AL] Parameters Controller# is the controller number AD/LD/PD/AL options: AD—Adapter information only ● LD—Logical drive information only ● PD—Physical device information only ● AL—All information (optional) ●...
Note: GETSTATUS reports currently active operations for both ARCCONF commands and commands issued from the Adaptec Storage Manager. GETSTATUS reports verify, clear, initialize, and secure erase operations on physical devices.
Device# is the device number for the device to be identified Example ARCCONF IDENTIFY 1 DEVICE 0 0 ARCCONF IDENTIFY 1 ALL arcconf key Loads a feature key onto an Adaptec controller. Syntax ARCCONF KEY <Controller#> SET <Key#> Parameters Controller# is the controller number...
Desired size in MB. ● RAID# is the RAID level for the logical drive 0, 1, 5, 5EE, or 10. Note: The CHANNEL# and DRIVE# parameters is the list of devices that will contain the target modification object. Channel# is the channel number for the device. Drive# is the device_ID (device number) for the device.
arcconf setalarm Sets the state of the controller audible alarm, if present. Syntax ARCCONF SETALARM <Controller#> <on|off|silence|test> Parameters Controller# is the controller number On enables the alarm Off disables the alarm Silence quiets the currently sounding alarm Test triggers the alarm Example ARCCONF SETALARM 1 TEST ARCCONF SETALARM 1 SILENCE...
arcconf setconfig Resets the controller's configuration. Logical drives are deleted, hard disks are reset to the READY state, and any controller settings are reset to default values. Syntax ARCCONF SETCONFIG <Controller#> DEFAULT [noprompt] Parameters Controller# is the controller number Default restores the controller ‘s default configuration. Noprompt: No prompt for confirmation.
Example ARCCONF SETNAME 1 LOGICALDRIVE 1 BACKUP_A arcconf setncq Changes the controller’s Native Command Queuing (NCQ) setting to enabled or disabled. This setting affects the SATA disk drives on the controller. It takes effect when the SATA drives are restarted. Syntax ARCCONF SETNCQ <Controller#>...
Chapter 2: Using the Command Line Utility ● internal# is the maximum number of internal drives that the controller may spin up at one time, from 0-20. external# is the maximum number of external drives (such as the drives in a JBOD) that the controller may spin up at one time, from 0-20.
arcconf setstate Changes the state of a physical device or logical device from its current state to the designated state. Syntax ARCCONF SETSTATE <Controller#> DEVICE <Channel#> <Device#> <State> [LOGICALDRIVE <LD#>[LD#] ... ] [noprompt] ARCCONF SETSTATE <Controller#> LOGICALDRIVE <LD#> OPTIMAL [ADVANCED <option>] [noprompt] Parameters Controller# is the controller number...
arcconf snapshot Create or manage a logical drive snapshot. Syntax ARCCONF SNAPSHOT <Controller#> <COMMAND> ... [noprompt] Parameters Controller# is the controller number Commands: map—display logical drives and any snapshot state. ● stop <Logicaldrive#>—Remove the snapshot associated with the given Logical drive. ●...
