.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility can be used to display or modify various parameters on LSI
|
|
Fusion-MPT controllers.
|
|
Each invocation of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
consists of zero or more global options followed by a command.
|
|
Commands may support additional optional or required arguments after the
|
|
command.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Currently one global option is supported:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl u Ar unit
|
|
.Ar unit
|
|
specifies the unit of the controller to work with.
|
|
If no unit is specified,
|
|
then unit 0 is used.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Volumes may be specified in two forms.
|
|
First,
|
|
a volume may be identified by its location as
|
|
.Sm off
|
|
.Op Ar xx Ns \&:
|
|
.Ar yy
|
|
.Sm on
|
|
where
|
|
.Ar xx
|
|
is the bus ID and
|
|
.Ar yy
|
|
is the target ID.
|
|
If the bus ID is ommitted,
|
|
the volume is assumed to be on bus 0.
|
|
Second,
|
|
on the volume may be specified by the corresponding
|
|
.Em daX
|
|
device,
|
|
such as
|
|
.Em da0 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr mpt 4
|
|
controller divides drives up into two categories.
|
|
Configured drives belong to a RAID volume either as a member drive or as a hot
|
|
spare.
|
|
Each configured drive is assigned a unique device ID such as 0 or 1 that is
|
|
show in
|
|
.Cm show config ,
|
|
and in the first column of
|
|
.Cm show drives .
|
|
Any drive not associated with a RAID volume as either a member or a hot spare
|
|
is a standalone drive.
|
|
Standalone drives are visible to the operating system as SCSI disk devices.
|
|
As a result, drives may be specified in three forms.
|
|
First,
|
|
a configured drive may be identified by its device ID.
|
|
Second,
|
|
any drive may be identified by its location as
|
|
.Sm off
|
|
.Ar xx Ns \&:
|
|
.Ar yy
|
|
.Sm on
|
|
where
|
|
.Ar xx
|
|
is the bus ID and
|
|
.Ar yy
|
|
is the target ID for each drive as displayed in
|
|
.Cm show drives .
|
|
Note that unlike volumes,
|
|
a drive location always requires the bus ID to avoid confusion with device IDs.
|
|
Third,
|
|
a standalone drive that is not part of a volume may be identified by its
|
|
corresponding
|
|
.Em daX
|
|
device as displayed in
|
|
.Cm show drives .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility supports several different groups of commands.
|
|
The first group of commands provide information about the controller,
|
|
the volumes it manages, and the drives it controls.
|
|
The second group of commands are used to manage the physical drives
|
|
attached to the controller.
|
|
The third group of commands are used to manage the logical volumes
|
|
managed by the controller.
|
|
The fourth group of commands are used to manage the drive configuration for
|
|
the controller.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The informational commands include:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Cm version
|
|
Displays the version of
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
.It Cm show adapter
|
|
Displays information about the RAID controller such as the model number.
|
|
.It Cm show config
|
|
Displays the volume and drive configuration for the controller.
|
|
Each volume is listed along with the physical drives that the volume spans.
|
|
If any hot spare drives are configured, then they are listed as well.
|
|
.It Cm show drives
|
|
Lists all of the physical drives attached to the controller.
|
|
.It Cm show events
|
|
Display all the entries from the controller's event log.
|
|
Due to lack of documentation this command isn't very useful currently and
|
|
just dumps each log entry in hex.
|
|
.It Cm show volumes
|
|
Lists all of the logical volumes managed by the controller.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The physical drive management commands include:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Cm fail Ar drive
|
|
Mark
|
|
.Ar drive
|
|
as
|
|
.Dq failed requested .
|
|
Note that this state is different from the
|
|
.Dq failed
|
|
state that is used when the firmware fails a drive.
|
|
.Ar Drive
|
|
must be a configured drive.
|
|
.It Cm online Ar drive
|
|
Mark
|
|
.Ar drive
|
|
as an online drive.
|
|
.Ar Drive
|
|
must be part a configured drive in either the
|
|
.Dq offline
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq failed requested
|
|
states.
|
|
.It Cm offline Ar drive
|
|
Mark
|
|
.Ar drive
|
|
as offline.
|
|
.Ar Drive
|
|
must be a configured, online drive.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The logical volume management commands include:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Cm name Ar volume Ar name
|
|
Sets the name of
|
|
.Ar volume
|
|
to
|
|
.Ar name .
|
|
.It Cm volume cache Ar volume Ar enable|disable
|
|
Enables or disables the drive write cache for the member drives of
|
|
.Ar volume .
|
|
.It Cm volume status Ar volume
|
|
Display more detailed status about a single volume including the current
|
|
progress of a rebuild operation if one is being performed.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The configuration commands include:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Cm clear
|
|
Delete the entire configuration including all volumes and spares.
|
|
All drives will become standalone drives.
|
|
.It Xo Cm create Ar type
|
|
.Op Fl q
|
|
.Op Fl v
|
|
.Op Fl s Ar stripe_size
|
|
.Ar drive Ns Op \&, Ns Ar drive Ns Op ",..."
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Create a new volume.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar type
|
|
specifies the type of volume to create.
|
|
Currently supported types include:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Cm raid0
|
|
Creates one RAID0 volume spanning the drives listed in the single drive list.
|
|
.It Cm raid1
|
|
Creates one RAID1 volume spanning the drives listed in the single drive list.
|
|
.It Cm raid1e
|
|
Creates one RAID1E volume spanning the drives listed in the single drive list.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Sy Note:
|
|
Not all volume types are supported by all controllers.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl q
|
|
flag is specified after
|
|
.Ar type ,
|
|
then a
|
|
.Dq quick
|
|
initialization of the volume will be done.
|
|
This is useful when the drives do not contain any existing data that need
|
|
to be preserved.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl v
|
|
flag is specified after
|
|
.Ar type ,
|
|
then more verbose output will be enabled.
|
|
Currently this just provides notification as drives are added to volumes
|
|
when building the configuration.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl s
|
|
.Ar stripe_size
|
|
parameter allows the stripe size of the array to be set.
|
|
By default a stripe size of 64K is used.
|
|
The list of valid values for a given
|
|
.Ar type
|
|
are listed in the output of
|
|
.Cm show adapter .
|
|
.It Cm delete Ar volume
|
|
Delete the volume
|
|
.Ar volume .
|
|
Member drives will become standalone drives.
|
|
.It Cm add Ar drive Op Ar volume
|
|
Mark
|
|
.Ar drive
|
|
as a hot spare.
|
|
.Ar Drive
|
|
must not be a member of a volume.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar volume
|
|
is specified,
|
|
then the hot spare will be dedicated to that volume.
|
|
Otherwise,
|
|
.Ar drive
|
|
will be used as a global hot spare backing all volumes for this controller.
|
|
Note that
|
|
.Ar drive
|
|
must be as large as the smallest drive in all of the volumes it is going to
|
|
back.
|
|
.It Cm remove Ar drive
|
|
Remove the hot spare
|
|
.Ar drive
|
|
from service.
|
|
It will become a standalone drive.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES

.Xr mpt 4
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
Deleting volumes usually provokes a kernel crash in OS versions older than
|
|
.Dv 6.3-YAHOO-20080722 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The handling of spare drives appears to be unreliable.
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr mpt 4
|
|
firmware manages spares via spare drive
|
|
.Dq pools .
|
|
There are eight pools numbered 0 through 7.
|
|
Each spare drive can only be assigned to a single pool.
|
|
Each volume can be backed by any combination of zero or more spare pools.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility attempts to use the following algorithm for managing spares.
|
|
Global spares are always assigned to pool 0,
|
|
and all volumes are always backed by pool 0.
|
|
For dedicated spares,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
assigns one of the remaining 7 pools to each volume and
|
|
assigns dedicated drives to that pool.
|
|
In practice however, it seems that assigning a drive as a spare does not
|
|
take effect until the box has been rebooted.
|
|
Also, the firmware renumbers the spare pool assignments after a reboot
|
|
which undoes the effects of the algorithm above.
|
|
Simple cases such as assigning global spares seem to work ok
|
|
.Pq albeit requiring a reboot to take effect
|
|
but more
|
|
.Dq exotic
|
|
configurations may not work reliably.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Drive configuration commands result in an excessive flood of messages on the
|
|
console.
