# 254906 26-Aug-2013 sbruno

Add support to reconfigure a drive as SYSPD (real JBOD in LSI
terminology).

Adds command "mfiutil syspd <drive#>" to change a drive to SYSPD. Drive
will then be scanned/reported immediately as /dev/mfisyspdX by the host.

"mfiutil good <drive#>" clears SYSPD mode, remove /dev/mfisyspdX and
sets disk into UNCONFIGURED mode.

Tested on Dell H310 SAS/SATA RAID controller.

# 220363 05-Apr-2011 jhb

Add the ability to manage the state of write caching when the battery
back-up is missing or dead. The current state of this field is reported
in 'mfiutil cache <volume>' and can be adjusted via
'mfiutil cache <volume> bad-bbu-write-cache <enable|disable>'. This
setting should generally be disabled to avoid data loss.

# 196200 13-Aug-2009 scottl

ntroduce mfiutil, a basic utility for managing LSI SAS-RAID & Dell PERC5/6
controllers. Controller, array, and drive status can be checked, basic
attributes can be changed, and arrays and spares can be created and deleted.
Controller firmware can also be flashed.

This does not replace MegaCLI, found in ports, as that is officially sanctioned
and supported by LSI and includes vastly more functionality. However, mfiutil
is open source and guaranteed to provide basic functionality, which can be
especially useful if you have a problem and can't get MegaCLI to work.
