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.

     http://tools.rapidsoft.de/perc/perc-cheat-sheet.html

Looks like I can get most of what I need, without any
stinking -Val

That will do for now.
