SAS3 Integrated RAID Solution User Guide Appendix A: | Hardware and Software Requirements Appendix A Using the SAS3 Integrated RAID Configuration Utility This appendix explains how to use the command-line-driven SAS3 Integrated RAID configuration utility (SAS3IRCU) to create Integrated RAID volumes on LSI SAS3 controllers in the manufacturing environment. SAS3IRCU is a command-line utility that you can use to configure the Integrated RAID functions of LSI SAS3 controllers. SAS3IRCU is a minimally interactive program that you can execute from a command-line prompt or a shell script. When you use a SAS3IRCU command, the program returns a status value to the operating system when it exits. OEMs can use SAS3IRCU to configure Integrated RAID devices on the LSI family of MPT2.0-based SAS3 controllers. You typically use this utility for system configuration on the manufacturing floor. NOTE: End users should not use the SAS3IRCU utility. Instead, they should use the LSI SAS3 BIOS Configuration Utility (SAS3 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 SAS3IRCU runs on the following platforms.  X86 or X64-compatible  United Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) 2  EM64T/AMD64  Sun SPARC® (v9) SAS3IRCU works with storage devices that are compliant with existing SCSI standards. SAS3IRCU supports the following LSI SAS3 controllers and the host bus adapters based on these controllers:  LSISAS2004  LSISAS2008  LSISAS2108  LSISAS2208  LSISAS2304  LSISAS2308 LSI Corporation Confidential | August 2010 Page 31

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