FCode-Based RAID Utility Commands

These commands are provided through an FCode-based RAID utility provided with the on-board controllers. You can enter these commands at the OpenBoot prompt. For details on preparing to enter these commands to affect a specific controller, see Prepare to Create a RAID Hardware Volume (FCode-based RAID Utility).
