SAS2 Integrated RAID Solution User Guide Appendix A: | Hardware and Software Requirements Appendix A Using the SAS2 Integrated RAID Configuration Utility This appendix explains how to use the command-line-driven SAS2 Integrated RAID configuration utility (SAS2IRCU) to create Integrated RAID volumes on LSI SAS2 controllers in the manufacturing environment. SAS2IRCU is a command-line utility that you can use to configure the Integrated RAID functions of LSI SAS2 controllers. SAS2IRCU is a minimally interactive program that you can execute from a command-line prompt or a shell script. When you use a SAS2IRCU command, the program returns a status value to the operating system when it exits. OEMs can use SAS2IRCU to configure Integrated RAID devices on the LSI family of MPT2.0-based SAS2 controllers. You typically use this utility for system configuration on the manufacturing floor. NOTE: End users should not use the SAS2IRCU utility. Instead, they should use the LSI SAS2 BIOS Configuration Utility (SAS2 BIOS CU) to create and manage Integrated RAID volumes. For more information, see Chapter 3 and Chapter 5. A.1 Hardware and Software Requirements A.1.1 Controller Support SAS2IRCU runs on the following platforms.  X86 or X64-compatible  United Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) 2  EM64T/AMD64  Sun SPARC® (v9) SAS2IRCU works with storage devices that are compliant with existing SCSI standards. SAS2IRCU supports the following LSI SAS2 controllers and the host bus adapters based on these controllers:  LSISAS2004  LSISAS2008  LSISAS2108  LSISAS2208  LSISAS2304  LSISAS2308 LSI Corporation Confidential | August 2010 Page 31

Appendix A
SAS2IRCU is a command-line utility that you can use to configure the Integrated RAID
functions of LSI SAS2 controllers. SAS2IRCU is a minimally interactive program that you
can execute from a command-line prompt or a shell script. When you use a SAS2IRCU
command, the program returns a status value to the operating system when it exits.
OEMs can use SAS2IRCU to configure Integrated RAID devices on the LSI family of
MPT2.0-based SAS2 controllers.
You typically use this utility for system configuration
on the manufacturing floor.
NOTE:
End users should not use the SAS2IRCU utility. Instead, they should use the LSI
SAS2 BIOS Configuration Utility (SAS2 BIOS CU) to create and manage Integrated RAID
volumes. For more information, see
Chapter 3
and
Chapter 5
.
