Dell的好多型号服务器默认的RAID控制器都是SAS 6i/R
，对于这款控制器MegaCli是不能使用的。在命令行模式下想管理SAS 6i/R，需要使用Lsiutil这个工具。
Lsiutil有两种使用方法： 菜单驱动的交互使用 和 命令行
不带任何参数执行lsiutil，就会进入lsiutil的交互模式。在这个模式下，所有的操作都是通过文本菜单来进行的，举例如下：

命令行模式举例如下:
lsiutil –p1 –a 21,1,0,0,0和上边菜单操作一样，只不过不用手动去选择菜单项了
lsiutil -p 1 -i –s 显示端口1的设置和连接的设备
lsiutil –s显示所有端口上连接的设备
lsiutil -p 2 -l 1强制HBA卡端口2连接速度为1Gb
