MLXCTL(8)		  BSD System Manager's Manual		     MLXCTL(8)

NAME
     mlxctl — Mylex DAC960 family management utility

SYNOPSIS
     mlxctl [-f dev] [-v] [-a] status [drive] [...]
     mlxctl [-f dev] [-a] detach [drive] [...]
     mlxctl [-f dev] [-a] check [drive] [...]
     mlxctl [-f dev] rebuild channel:target
     mlxctl [-f dev] cstatus
     mlxctl [-f dev] rescan
     mlxctl [-f dev] config

DESCRIPTION
     The mlxctl utility performs status monitoring and management functions
     for Mylex DAC960 RAID controllers and attached devices.

     The following options are available:

     -a	      Apply the action to all drives attached to the controller.

     -f dev   Specify the control device to use.  The default is /dev/mlx0.

     -v	      Increased verbosity.

     The following commands are available:

     cstatus  Display the controller's current status.

     status   Display the status of the specified drives.  This command
	      returns 0 if all drives tested are online, 1 if one or more
	      drives are critical and 2 if one or more are offline.

     rescan   Re-scan the logical drive table, and attach or detach devices
	      from the system as necessary.

     detach   Detach the specified drives.  Drives must be unmounted and
	      unopened for this command to succeed.

     check    Initiate a consistency check and repair pass on a drive that
	      provides redundancy (e.g., RAID1 or RAID5).  This command
	      returns immediately.  The status command can be used to monitor
	      the progress of the check.

     rebuild  Rebuild onto the specified physical drive.  Note that there can
	      be only one running rebuild operation per controller at any
	      given time.  This command returns immediately.  The cstatus com‐
	      mand can be used to monitor the progress of the rebuild.

     config   Write the current system drive configuration to stdout.

EXAMPLES
     Display the status of drive ld3 attached to the controller mlx1:

	   mlxctl -f /dev/mlx1 -v status ld3

SEE ALSO
     ld(4), mlx(4)

HISTORY
     The mlxctl command first appeared in NetBSD 1.5.3, and was based on the
     mlxcontrol utility found in FreeBSD.

BUGS
     Modifying drive configuration is not yet supported.

     Some commands do not work with older firmware revisions.

     Error log extraction is not yet supported.
