Great information! I'm a Linux newbie and was having a hard time finding info on CmdTool2.
ReplyDeleteQuick question: what parameter would I use to just check the status of a 2-disk logical drive (RAID1)? The parameter "-LDInfo -L0 -a0" seems to be the simplest but it still contains more info than what I care about. All I really want to know is what the "State" of the logical drive is (Optimal/Degraded/Failed/etc). Thanks in advance and I hope to hear back from you soon.

Hi Lazarus,
DeleteThe command reference for the CmdTool2 is located here: http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/e36092004_intelraidcontrollercommandlinetool2_user.pdf
Judging by your post you have done some investigation of the available options. I don't think there is a simpler output from the command. Unless we can get the source code, I think we're stuck with that....
Another solution is to pipe the output to a Perl script that can parse and generate the output you need.
