on RAID-enabled systems. Intel(R) RST for CLI supports RAID 0, 
RAID 1, RAID 5 and RAID 10 volumes. 
Intel(R) RST for CLI supports the following functionality: 
  - Creating RAID volumes including recovery volumes and arrays 
using the Create mode
  - Viewing properties of disks, volumes, arrays, and controllers 
using the Information mode
  - Managing RAID volumes, arrays, and disks using the Manage mode
  - Modifying existing volumes using the Modify mode

OPTIONS:

   -A <<host>-<bus>-<target>-<lun>>,  --add <<host>-<bus>-<target>-<lun>>
     Adds new disks to an existing volume.

   -a,  --array
     Lists information about the arrays in the storage system.

   --accel-info
     Lists information about Accelerate settings.

   --accelerate
     Accelerates a given drive or volume with the specified fast drive.

   -C,  --create
     Creates a new volume and array or creates a new volume on an existing
     array.

   -c,  --controller
     Lists information about the controllers in the storage system.

   --cache-size <size in GB>
     Sets a size in gigabytes for the cache memory. This is an optional
     switch. If the size is not specified, the complete size of the fast
     drive will be used for acceleration.

   --cache-volume <Volume name>
     Specifies a name for the volume used as cache.

   --comma
     Lists information in a comma delimited format view.

   --createCache
     Creates the cache.

   -D <Volume name>,  --delete <Volume name>
     Deletes the specified volume.

   -d,  --disk
     Lists information about the disks in the storage system.

   --disassociate
     This action is only available if the accelerated drive or volume that
     is associated with the cache drive is reported missing or
     inaccessible. As a result, caching activity is no longer occurring. If
     you are unable to reconnect the accelerated disk or volume, the only
     option is to remove the association between the cache drive and the
     disk or volume. Once the association between the cache and the
     accelerated disk or volume is removed, all cache metadata and data is
     deleted from the cache drive. You can then reset the solid-state drive
     to available or accelerate a different disk or volume, as long as the
     cache drive is healthy.

   --disk-to-accel <<host>-<bus>-<target>-<lun>>
     see --drive-to-accel

   --drive-to-accel <<host>-<bus>-<target>-<lun>>

   -F <<host>-<bus>-<target>-<lun>>,  --normal
      <<host>-<bus>-<target>-<lun>>
     Resets failed or SMART event disk to normal.

   -f <Volume name>,  --normal-volume <Volume name>
     Resets failed RAID 0 volume to normal and recovers data.

   --fast-drive <<host>-<bus>-<target>-<lun>>
     Specifies fast drive that will be used as cache/accelerator. If
     another fast is being used as cache, then that volume needs to be
     deleted to use a new fast drive.

   -h,  --help
     Displays help documentation for command line utility modes, options,
     usage, examples, and return codes. When used with a mode switch
     (create, information, mange, modify, or accelerate), instructions for

     Specifies a name for the volume created. Renames an existing volume in
     Modify mode.

   --no-sync
     Do not synchronize cache durning metadata deletion.

   -P <Volume name>,  --volume-cache-policy <Volume name>
     Sets volume cache policy to either off or wb.
