- General Help:
# sissasraidmgr -h

- Viewing the Disk Array Configuration:
# sissasraidmgr -Ll controller_name -j1

- Preparing Disks for Use in SAS Disk Arrays:
# sissasraidmgr -P -z disk_list
(For example, # sissasraidmgr -P -z hdisk1 hdisk2 pdisk3 pdisk4)

- Changing pdisks to hdisks:
# sissasraidmgr -U -z pdisk_list

- Creating a SAS Disk Array:
# sissasraidmgr -C -r raid level -s  stripe size -z pdisk_list

- Deleting a SAS Disk Array:
# sissasraidmgr -D -l controller name -d array_name

- Adding Disks to an Existing Disk Array:
# sissasraidmgr -A -l array name -z pdisk list

- Creating Hot Spare Disks:
# sissasraidmgr -H -z pdisk_list

- Forcing a Rechargeable Battery Error:
# sissasraidmgr -M -o1 -l adapter_name

- Recovering from Disk Failures:
# sissasraidmgr -R -z pdisk_list

- Viewing the SAS device resource locations:
# sissasraidmgr -Z –o0 –j3 -l adapter_name

- Viewing the SAS device resource information:
# sissasraidmgr -Z –o1 –j3 -l adapter_name

- Viewing the SAS path information for the attached device:
# sissasraidmgr -T –o1 –j3 -l device_name

- Viewing the SAS path information graphically for the attached device:
# sissasraidmgr -T –o0 –j3 -l device_name
