You do not have to restart the computer after completing this command.
Example
This example shows a typical system response to a
LIST
command:
A:\> AFU LIST
Adaptec Flash Utility V1.0-0 B1406

SAVE
The
SAVE
command saves the contents of a HostRAID controller’s flash in a UFI file. The name
of the UFI file is based on the HostRAID controller type and cannot be changed.
Command Syntax
The command syntax for the
SAVE
command is as follows:
AFU SAVE [/C<Controller ID>] [/D <UFI File Path>]
Command Switches
The following switches are available:
●
/C <Controller ID> is one or more HostRAID controller IDs representing the set of
controllers on which to perform the specified command. The default is 0, which means
that if the computer has multiple HostRAID controllers, the AFU defaults to controller 0
unless you specify otherwise.
controllers on which to perform the specified command. The default is 0, which means
that if the computer has multiple HostRAID controllers, the AFU defaults to controller 0
unless you specify otherwise.
To specify a single HostRAID controller ID, for example:
/C 0
To specify multiple IDs separated by commas, for example:
/C 0,2
To represent all HostRAID controllers:
ALL
Note:
If you are using multiple HostRAID controllers, you must specify the controller you want
by using the /C switch; otherwise, the AFU displays an error message and exits. You cannot
select ALL HostRAID controllers when specifying SAVE.
select ALL HostRAID controllers when specifying SAVE.
●
/D <UFI File Path> specifies the path (drive and directory) where the UFI files are located.
If you do not specify the /D switch, the AFU looks for, or creates, UFI files in the default
location.
If you do not specify the /D switch, the AFU looks for, or creates, UFI files in the default
location.
Note:
You cannot specify the name of a UFI file, only its path. UFI filenames are predefined,
based on the HostRAID controller type.
Examples
In the following example, the AFU saves flash contents from HostRAID controller 0 to a UFI
file in the current default drive and directory:
