DESCRIPTION
The mpsutil utility can be used to display or modify various parameters
on LSI Fusion-MPS 2 controllers.
The mprutil utility can be used to display or modify various parameters
on LSI Fusion-MPS 3 controllers.
Both the mprutil and mpsutil commands behave identically.
Each invocation of mpsutil consists of zero or more global options
followed by a command. Commands may support additional optional or
required arguments after the command.
Currently one global option is supported:
-u unit
unit specifies the unit of the controller to work with. If no
unit is specified, then unit 0 is used.
The mpsutil utility supports several different groups of commands. The
first group of commands provide information about the controller. The
second group of commands are used to manager controller-wide operations.
The informational commands include:
version
Displays the version of mpsutil.
show adapter
Displays information about the controller such as the model
number or firmware version.
show adapters
Displays a summary of all adapters.
show all
Displays all devices, expanders and enclosures.
show devices
Displays all devices.
show iocfacts
Displays IOC Facts messages.
show cfgpage page [num] [addr]
Dump raw config page in hex.
Controller management commands include:
set ncq [enable|disable]
Enables or disables NCQ in the NVRAM of the card.
flash save [firmware|bios] [file]
Save the firmware or bios from the controller into a local file.
If no file is specified then the file will be named firmware or
bios.
flash update [firmware|bios] file
Replace the firmware or bios from the controller with the one
specified via file.

architectures.
