There is a MegaCLI command line interface that runs under the operating system. Normally I prefer command line tools. But this software is big, and complex. All I have been able to find is a reference manual, that has lots of typos and is not very well organized for me to learn what I need to know. I have not been able to find a tutorial for this software. It will take more time than I have at the moment to figure out this tool.
Huh? It's one tiny binary, and the syntax is trivial? You are looking at something else... Its own help is decent and it installs via rpm on RHEL.
What you need is the mr_sas_sw_ug.pdf from lsi's site.
The manual IS sloppy. missing - characters in the syntax
Tryijng to figure out -Val syntax
megacli AdpPRSetDelay -Val -aN|-a0,1,2|-aALL
+ /home/drew/bin/MegaCli -AdpPRSetDelay 0 -a0 Invalid input at or near token -AdpPRSetDelay
Tried sticking a - in front of the zero. Doesn't make much sense, tried it anyway, didn't help.
This cheat sheet for another vintage of the controller rebadged by Dell, seems to be exactly what I need.

Looks like I can get most of what I need, without any stinking -Val
That will do for now.
