This page is a nearly direct copy of LSI/Avago reference page, as of July 26, 2014, for the MegaCli Linux command line tool.
This copy was made for two reasons;
- The original article was formatted in such a way that the content was hard to read.
- A copy of the content was desired in case of interruption in LSI/Avago's website.
