The usage examples provide typical ways that PRAID can
be used to configure the RAID adapter.
Deploy mode examples
PRAID -r -d -y
This
example is useful for unattended scripted installations because it
does the following:
- Configures all RAID controllers in the system using default settings.
- Does not prompt you before setting controllers to factory-default
settings.
- Synchronizes drives without prompting, when required.
PRAID -f:policies.ini -r -v:5 -e1
This
example does the following:
- Configures the RAID controllers in the system by using the policies
file: policies.ini
- Sets the verbose mode to maximum.
- Returns an error code if there are no matching policies for one
or more controllers.
Capture mode examples
PRAID -c -f:policies.ini
This
example captures the configuration of all RAID controllers into the policies.ini file.
PRAID -c:m,t -f:policies.ini
This
example does the following:
- Captures the configuration of all RAID controllers into the policies.ini file.
- Uses the system machine type and RAID controller type as the AppliesTo.1 entry
in the policies file for each captured configuration.
Restore-defaults mode examples
PRAID -r -v:0 -y
This
example does the following:
- Restores all RAID controllers to factory default settings.
- Operates in silent mode; no messages are printed to the screen.
- Does not prompt you before restoring factory-default settings.
