MPT-STATUS(8)                        System Manager's Manual                        MPT-STATUS(8)

NAME
       mpt-status - retrieve configuration and health status from LSI hardware RAID controllers

SYNOPSIS
       mpt-status [ options ]

DESCRIPTION
       The  mpt-status software is a query tool to access the running configuration and status of
       LSI SCSI HBAs.  mpt-status allows you to monitor the health and status of your RAID setup.

OPTIONS
          --autoload
              This will try to automatically load the mptctl kernel module.

       -u --controller <int>
              Set the IOC unit (controller).

       -h --help
              Print some help information.

       -n --newstyle
              Use the new style output. This parameter was introduced to retain backwards compat-
              ibility. If not set, you get the old style output.  It is very likely that the out-
              put of the newstyle format will change heavily in the future, so do not rely on  it
              when writing plugins for monitoring software, for example.

       -i --set_id <int>
              Set id of primary device (check README).

       -p --probe_id
              Use this to probe SCSI id's when not on id 0.

       -q --quiet
              Do not display any warnings.

       -s --status_only
              Only print the status information. This can be used for easy scripting

       -v --verbose
              Print verbose information, such as warnings

       -V --version
              Print version information

       -d --debug [<int>]
              Enable  debugging  and  set  level optionally.  NOTE: This is not fully implemented
              yet.

DIAGNOSTICS
       The program's exit(2) status is meant to be interpreted as a bit mask. If everything  went
       well,  zero  is returned. If not (i.e. if for example an error or unknown condition is de-
       tected), the bits of the return value shall be interpreted as:

       Bit   Value   Meaning
       -----------------------------------------------------------------
         0       1   Abnormal condition / unknown error
         1       2   A logical volume has failed

         2       4   A logical volume is degraded
         3       8   A logical volume is resyncing
         4      16   At least one physical disk failed
         5      32   At least one physical disk is in warning condition

REPORTING BUGS
       Report bugs to your linux distribution or software vendor, if mpt-status  was  bundled  on
       your  installation. If you have been compiling mpt-status from the vanilla sources and ex-
       perience problems, redirect them to preferably <ratz AT drugphish.ch> or <rnibali AT pyx.ch>.

BUGS
       Besides design bugs, gross software engineering and missing  features,  this  software  is
       considered pretty stable and can be used in production environments.

FILES
