Appendix A: | Interface Description SAS2 Integrated RAID Solution User Guide A.1.2 Operating System and Software Support A.2 Interface Description A.3 Commands SAS2IRCU requires PCI™ 2.x or PCI 3.0 firmware and MPI v2.0. SAS2IRCU supports the following operating systems:  WinPE 1.x (Server 2003/XP), WinPE 2.0 (Vista), WinPE 2.1 (Server 2008) Requires Windows® driver v2.00.00.17 or greater.  UEFI 2.1  Linux® 2.6 Kernel - Red Hat® Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5, SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 10 Requires Linux driver v00.255.04.00 or greater.  MS-DOS® 6.22 and FreeDOS 1.0 SAS2IRCU runs on DOS only if the system BIOS supports 32-bit BIOS services, including the PCI BIOS services. SAS2IRCU uses these services to locate the controller and its interface registers because it must directly access the controller chip's interface registers. Format commands as follows for the SAS2IRCU command-line interface: sas2ircu Use a space to separate the program name, the controller number, the command, and the parameters fields. The format of is command specific. Information passes between the user environment and the SAS2IRCU through the command line, the standard output and standard error interfaces, and the program return value. You can redirect the output streams as permitted by the operating system. When the program exits, it returns a value of 0 if the command is successful. Otherwise, it returns a value of 1. If a RAID command fails, the SAS2IRCU prints the IOCStatus and IOCLogInfo on the console. You can use this information to analyze the cause of the failure. The following table shows which commands the SAS2IRCU supports on each operating system.
