View dead disks (offline or missing)
-ldpdinfo -aall |grep -i “firmware state\|slot”
View new disks
-pdlist -aall |grep -i “firmware\|unconfigured\|slot”
Create raid 1:
-CfgLdAdd -r1 [E:S, E:S] -aN
Create raid 0:
-CfgLdAdd -r0 [E:S, E:S] -aN
Init ALL VDs
-LDInit -Start -LALL -a0
Init 1 VD
-LDInit -Start -L[VD_ID] -a0
clearcache
-DiscardPreservedCache -L3 -aN (3 being the VD number)
Check FW
-AdpAllInfo -aALL | grep 'FW Package Build'

JBOD
Figure out the Enclosure Device ID
-PDList -a0 | grep -e '^Enclosure Device ID:' | head -1 | cut -f2- -d':' | xargs
Set all the drives to “Good”
-PDMakeGood -PhysDrv[$id:1,$id:2,$id:3,$id:4,$id:5,$id:6,$id:7,$id:8] -Force -a0
Check and see if JBOD support is enabled
AdpGetProp EnableJBOD -aALL
Turn JBOD support on
AdpSetProp EnableJBOD 1 -a0
Set each disk from above to be in JBOD mode
-PDMakeJBOD -PhysDrv[$id:1,$id:2,$id:3,$id:4,$id:5,$id:6,$id:7,$id:8] -a0
The syntax for checking a disk within a MegaRAID based controller is as follows via CLI:
This shows the "Device ID: X", Replace n with the Device ID
-LdPdInfo -a0 | grep Id
smartctl -a -d sat+megaraid,n /dev/sg0
Disk missing - No automatically rebuilding
-PdReplaceMissing -PhysDrv [E:S] -ArrayN -rowN -aN
-PDRbld -Start -PhysDrv [E:S] -aN
