Chapter 10. Using the ARM Command Line
Utilities for Windows NT
Included with the AutoRAID Manager (ARM) software are the ARM command line utilities for Windows
NT . These commands provide the capability of managing the disk array from the NT command prompt.
The command utilities are emulated by the AutoRAID Manager Windows GUI, so the GUI should be the
primary tool used to manage the disk array.
NOTE! The command line utilities can only be used on the host server to manage local disk
arrays. The command line utilities cannot be used to manage disk arrays remotely.
The command line utilities do provide some additional functionality not available from the GUI. However,
these are specialized tasks not typically performed in the day-to-day management of the disk array.
The download command downloads new firmware to the disk array controller and disk drives.
The logprint command accesses the log files maintained by AutoRAID Manager.
The arraymgr command provides additional capability for managing some aspects of disk array
behavior.
The arraydsp command allows you to check all aspects of disk array operation and configuration.
Each of the command line utilities is described in this chapter.
LUNs and Logical Drives. To maintain consistency with ARM command line terminology, the
term LUN is frequently used to refer to a disk array logical drive. The two terms are used
interchangeably and refer to the same logical entity on the disk array.
