CLI Syntax Reference

                                      

This chapter provides detailed information about using the command syntax 
for the 3ware CLI. 

Throughout this chapter the examples reflect the interactive method of 
executing 3ware CLI. 

Common Tasks Mapped to CLI Commands

The table below lists many of the tasks people use to manage their RAID 
controllers and units, and lists the primary CLI command associated with 
those tasks.

 The 3ware controller used for the Power Mac G5 is the 9590SE-4ME. AMCC 

makes a number of other 3ware controller models, including 9000-series (9500S, 
9550SX, and 9590SE), and earlier 7000/8000 series boards, that work on other 
platforms. 

The command syntax described in this document supports all of those boards, 
however some features are only supported on specific 3ware controller models. We 
have tried to indicate the controller model in the Syntax description. For example, a 
command that is only available for all 9000-series models will specify “9000 series” 
or “9000 only,” while a command that is available for only 9550SX and 9590SE 
models will specify “9550SX and 9590SE”, and a command that is available only on 
7000/8000-series controllers will specify “7000/8000 only.”

For your Power Mac G5, the CLI commands that apply to the 9590SE-4ME are 
those identified as 9000 series and those that are identified as 9590SE. 

 You may notice mention of RAID 50 in the Command Syntax sections. RAID 

50 requires six or more drives, and so is not available using the 9590SE-4ME.
