ssacli ctrl slot=0 create type=ld drives=1I:1:1,1I:1:2 raid=1 Create new RAID 5 logical drive (controller slot 0, diks in port 1I:box 1:bay 1 to 4)
ssacli ctrl slot=0 create type=ld drives=1I:1:1-1I:1:4 raid=5 Delete logical drive (controller slot 0, logical drive 1)
ssacli ctrl slot=0 ld 1 delete Add new physical disks to logical drive (controller slot 0, logical drive 1, disks in port 1I:box 1:bay 6 and 7)
ssacli ctrl slot=0 ld 2 add drives=1I:1:6,1I:1:7 Add spare disks (controller slot 0, logical drive 1, array A, disks in port 1I:box 1:bay 6 and 7)
ssacli ctrl slot=0 array a add spares=1I:1:6,1I:1:7 Add global spare disks (controller slot 0, logical drive 1, all arrays, disks in port 1I:box 1:bay 6 and 7)

ssacli ctrl slot=0 modify cacheratio=80/20 Show physical drive write cache status (controller slot 0)
ssacli ctrl slot=0 modify dwc=? Enable/disable physical drive write cache (controller slot 0) Important: Because physical drive write cache is not battery-backed, you could lose data if a power failure occurs during a write process. To minimize this possibility, use a backup power supply.
ssacli ctrl slot=0 modify dwc=enable ssacli ctrl slot=0 modify dwc=disable Show status of smart array write cache when no battery is present (no-battery write cache option, controller slot 0)
ssacli ctrl slot=0 modify nbwc=? Enable/disable smart array write cache when no battery is present (no-battery write cache option, controller slot 0)
