DESCRIPTION
The mpsutil utility can be used to display or modify various parameters on LSI Fusion-MPS 2 controllers.

The mprutil utility can be used to display or modify various parameters on LSI Fusion-MPS 3 controllers.

Both the mprutil and mpsutil commands behave identically.

Each invocation of mpsutil consists of zero or more global options followed by a command. Commands may support additional optional or required arguments after the command.

Currently one global option is supported:

-u unit
    unit specifies the unit of the controller to work with. If no unit is specified, then unit 0 is used.

The mpsutil utility supports several different groups of commands. The first group of commands provide information about the controller. The second group of commands are used to manager controller-wide operations.

The informational commands include:

version
    Displays the version of mpsutil.

show adapter
    Displays information about the controller such as the model number or firmware version.

show adapters
    Displays a summary of all adapters.

show all
    Displays all devices, expanders and enclosures.

show devices
    Displays all devices.

show expanders
    Displays all expanders.

show enclosures
    Displays all enclosures.

show iocfacts
    Displays IOC Facts messages.

show cfgpage page [num] [addr]
    Dump raw config page in hex.

Controller management commands include:

set ncq [enable|disable]
    Enables or disables NCQ in the NVRAM of the card.

flash save [firmware|bios] [file]
    Save the firmware or bios from the controller into a local file. If no file is specified then the file will be named firmware or bios.

flash update [firmware|bios] file
    Replace the firmware or bios from the controller with the one specified via file.

HISTORY
The mpsutil utility first appeared in FreeBSD 11.0.

TODO
Flash operations (save/update) are not supported on big-endian architectures.
