Here is an attempt to explain thier meaning and uses.\\ See also: Cisco VSM RAID Viewer\\ General Parameters\\ Adapter parameter -aN\\ The parameter -aN (where N is a number starting with zero or the string ALL) specifies the adapter ID. If you have only one controller it’s safe to use ALL instead of a specific ID, but you’re encouraged to use the ID for everything that makes changes to your RAID configuration.\\ Physical drive parameter -PhysDrv [E:S]\\ For commands that operate on one or more pysical drives, the -PhysDrv [E:S] parameter is used, where E is the enclosure device ID in which the drive resides and S the slot number (starting with zero). You can get the enclosure device ID using MegaCli -EncInfo -aALL. The E:S syntax is also used for specifying the physical drives when creating a new RAID virtual drive (see 5).\\ Virtual drive parameter -Lx\\ The parameter -Lx is used for specifying the virtual drive (where x is a number starting with zero or the string all).\\ Running the executable can be accomplished by:\\ shell> /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli \\ or\\ shell> cd /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli\\ shell> ./MegaCli \\ Gather information\\ Controller information\\ 　　MegaCli -AdpAllInfo -aALL\\ 　　MegaCli -CfgDsply -aALL\\ 　　MegaCli -adpeventlog -getevents -f lsi-events.log -a0 -nolog\\ Enclosure information\\ 　　MegaCli -EncInfo -aALL\\ Virtual drive information\\ 　　MegaCli -LDInfo -Lall -aALL\\ Physical drive information\\ 　　MegaCli -PDList -aALL\\ 　　MegaCli -PDInfo -PhysDrv [E:S] -aALL\\ Battery backup information (Cisco MSPs do not have the battery backup unit installed, but in case yours has one)\\ 　　MegaCli -AdpBbuCmd -aALL \\ Check Battery backup warning on boot.

You may use a program such as WinSCP (freeware) to pull the files off of the server.\\
