RAID Features 2.2 Intel® RSTe Configuration Tools The Intel® RSTe will support multiple ways for OEMs/ODMs and users to manage RAID arrays and volumes. There is a Pre-boot package, factory installation utilities and an optional end user GUI tool. 2.2.1 Intel® RSTe UEFI Command Line Interface (CLI) Utility Intel® RSTe will provide support for a UEFI command line interface utility. An Intel® RSTe UEFI Command Line Interface (CLI) utility will be made available to manage RAID volumes when booted into the UEFI environment. The Intel® RSTe UEFI CLI utility will need to be launched from USB drive. This Intel® RSTe UEFI CLI utility will provide a command line interface to the user to allow to create/manage/delete RAID volumes on drives attached to either the AHCI or SCU controllers. The utility will access the appropriate controller and is available when they system boots into the UEFI environment. This is mainly used to create a RAID volume that can be used as the system OS boot device. Note: When the system is configured to boot using UEFI, the user must boot into the UEFI environment to manage the RAID volumes (check the status, initiate rebuilds, expand,and so on). RUN OFF OF A USB KEY 2.2.2 Intel® RSTe Rstcli Utility Intel® RSTe will provide support for a UEFI base command line utility that can be used in conjunction with the Legacy Option ROMs. There will be one Intel® RSTe RSTCLI utility for the AHCI controller and one for the SCU controller. The utility is accessed through UEFI bootable media (floppy drive or USB drive) and provides basic support for creating and managing RAID arrays and volumes without a dependency on the system OS being installed. (That is, a factory environment that builds both Windows* and Linux* systems. Not all features will be supported at the launch of Intel® RSTe.) 2.2.3 Intel® RSTe Command Line Interface (CLI) Application and Linux* systems Intel ® RSTe will provide support for a command line application that can run under a Windows* command prompt and/or a Windows* PE environments and. This application can be used to perform basic RAID operations (similar to the Rstcli utility) on the platforms that have or will have Intel® RSTe installed. Intel® RSTe CLI provides basic support for creating and managing RAID arrays and volumes without a dependency on the system OS being installed. (That's is, a factory environment that builds both Windows* and Linux* systems) 2.2.4 Intel® RSTe Graphical User Interface (Intel® RSTe GUI) Intel® RSTe will provide support for a graphical user interface for management of RAID arrays and volumes. The Intel® RSTe GUI is used to manage RAID arrays and volumes on the devices attached to the ACHI and/or SCU controllers. It will be able to distinguish between direct attached devices and expander attached storage devices (expanders are only supported on the SCU controller. 2.3 Intel® RSTe Management Tools 2.3.1 Common Information Model (CIM) Intel® RSTe will support an industry standard management API based on CIM model and Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMIS) specification. Samples of the CIM Profiles that will be included in the initial Intel® RSTe release are as follows:  Host hardware raid controller profile 4 Intel® RSTe User's Guide
