Using the lsiutil Software

Some procedures in this manual require the use of a software program called lsiutil. This appendix provides information on where to obtain the software and how to use it.


Caution

Caution - The lsiutil software has many features and capabilities. Executing certain combinations of commands can leave your system in an unrecoverable state. When you use this software, be sure you execute the procedures exactly as they are documented here, command by command. Do not skip commands or steps and do not add commands or steps that are not in the documented procedure.


The following topics are covered in this chapter:

Where to Obtain the lsiutil Software

To use lsiutil for the procedures in this appendix, you must have version 1.60 at minimum.

To obtain the latest lsiutil software, go to the disk blade site:

Installing lsiutil

Download lsiutil and unzip it in a temporary directory. It will create operating system-specific subdirectories. If you are running lsiutil on a SPARC blade, use the Solaris subdirectory. Otherwise, use the Solaris x86 subdirectory.
