  • Show drive channel statistics
    The show driveChannel stats command shows the cumulative data transfer for the drive channel and error information.
  • Start controller trace
    The start controller command starts an operation that saves debug trace information to a compressed file.
  • Start drive channel locate
    The start driveChannel locate command identifies the drive trays that are connected to a specific drive channel by turning on the indicator lights for the drive tray that is connected to the drive channel.
  • Start iSCSI DHCP refresh
    The start controller iscsiHostPort dhcpRefresh command initiates a refresh of the DHCP parameters for the iSCSI interface.
