Solution 1569250.1 : SPARC T3/T4 : MegaCLI exit codes and what they mean

Applies to:

SPARC T3-1 - Version All Versions to All Versions [Release All Releases]
SPARC T3-2 - Version All Versions to All Versions [Release All Releases]
Netra SPARC T4-1 Server - Version All Versions to All Versions [Release All Releases]
SPARC T4-1 - Version All Versions to All Versions [Release All Releases]
SPARC T4-2 - Version All Versions to All Versions [Release All Releases]
Oracle Solaris on SPARC (64-bit)

Purpose

When the MegaCLI command is executed it returns an exit code, this document is meant to explain what the exit code means

Scope

This document applies to SPARC T3/T4 servers shipped with the optional Sun Storage SAS PCIe RAID HBA INTERNAL (SG-SAS6-R-INT-Z )

Details

When the MegaCLI command is executed, it always ends with an exit code. The value of the exit code may be used to determine the result of the current (MegaCli) request.

For Example

root@netra-t4-1-sin06-a:/export/home/jack# ./MegaCli -v

MegaCLI SAS RAID Management Tool Ver 8.02.07 Mar 16, 2011
