Table 5.2 Conventions (Cont.)
Convention Description
[E0:S0,E1,S1,...] Specifies when one or more physical devices need(s) to be specified in the
command line. Each [E:S] pair specifies one physical device where E means
device ID of the enclosure in which a drive resides, and S means the slot
number of the enclosure.
In the case of a physical device directly connected to the SAS port on the
controller, with no enclosure involved, the format of [:S] can be used where S
means the port number on the controller. For devices attached through the
backplane, the firmware provides an enclosure device ID and MegaCLI expects
the user input in the format of [E:S]. In the following sections, only the format,
[E:S], is used in the command descriptions, although both formats are valid.
Indicates that the parameter is optional except when it is used to specify
[ ]
physical devices. For example, [WT] means the write policy (WriteThrough) is
optional
If you enter WT at the command line, the application will use WriteThrough write
policy for the virtual drive. Otherwise, it uses the default value for the parameter.
Indicates that the parameters are grouped and that they must be given at the
{ }
same time.
