You can use the CLI to view unit status and version information and perform

maintenance functions such as adding or removing drives. 3ware CLI also

includes advanced features for creating and deleting RAID units online.

For a summary of what you can do using the CLI, see “Common Tasks

Mapped to CLI Commands” on page 20.

Terminology

3ware SAS/SATA RAID Controller CLI Guide uses the following terminology:

Logical Units. Usually shortened to “units.” These are block devices

presented to the operating system. A logical unit can be a one-tier, two-tier, or

three-tier arrangement. Spare and Single logical units are examples of one-tier

units. RAID 1 and RAID 5 are examples of two-tier units and as such will

have sub-units. RAID 10 and RAID 50 are examples of three-tier units and as

such will have sub-sub-units.

Port. 3ware controller models up to the 9650SE series have one or many ports

(typically 4, 8, 12, 16, or 24). Each port can be attached to a single disk drive.

On a controller such as the 9650SE with a multilane serial port connector, one

connector supports four ports. On 9690SA series controllers, connections are

made with phys and vports (virtual port).

Phy. Phys are transceivers that transmit and receive the serial data stream that

flows between the controller and the drives. 3ware 9690SA controllers have 8

phys. These “controller phys” are associated with virtual ports (vports) by

3ware software to establish up to 128 potential connections with the SAS or

SATA hard drives. Each controller phy can be connected directly to a single

drive, or can be connected through an expander to additional drives.

VPort. Connections from 3ware 9690SA controllers to SAS or SATA drives

are referred to as virtual ports, or VPorts. A VPort indicates the ID of a drive,

whether it is directly connected to the controller, or cascaded through one or
