Table 5.2 Conventions (Cont.) Convention Description [E0:S0,E1,S1,...] Specifies when one or more physical devices need(s) to be specified in the command line. Each [E:S] pair specifies one physical device where E means device ID of the enclosure in which a drive resides, and S means the slot number of the enclosure. In the case of a physical device directly connected to the SAS port on the controller, with no enclosure involved, the format of [:S] can be used where S means the port number on the controller. For devices attached through the backplane, the firmware provides an enclosure device ID and MegaCLI expects the user input in the format of [E:S]. In the following sections, only the format, [E:S], is used in the command descriptions, although both formats are valid. [ ] Indicates that the parameter is optional except when it is used to specify physical devices. For example, [WT] means the write policy (WriteThrough) is optional. If you enter WT at the command line, the application will use WriteThrough write policy for the virtual drive. Otherwise, it uses the default value for the parameter. { } Indicates that the parameters are grouped and that they must be given at the same time. You can specify the -Silent command line option for all possible functions of the MegaCLI Configuration Utility. If you enter this option at the command line, no message displays on the screen. 5.4 Controller Property-Related Options You can use the commands in this section to set or display properties related to the controller(s), such as the virtual drive parameters and factory defaults. 5.4.1 Display Controller Properties Use the command in Table 5.3 to display parameters for the selected controller(s).
