Heads-up: RaidCfg

Subject: Heads-up: RaidCfg

With the integration of:

PSARC 2005/204 RaidCfg project
PSARC 2006/663 RaidCfg mpt adjustment
6508590 raidctl utility should use the pass_thru interface for mpt support

The RaidCfg software, as an enhancement over the existing raidctl(1M)
utility in Solaris, was putback into onnv build 57. It introduced a
library and a set of interfaces, and is supposed to support diverse RAID
controllers on both X86 and SPARC platforms.

The basic features delivered in the first putback includes:
* An enhanced raidctl(1M) utility with backwards compatibility over
CLI syntax;
* A common library that can be used by applications other than
raidctl(1M);
* Plugin management mechanism to support diverse RAID controllers;
* A mpt driver-support plugin module sharing the IOCTL interface with
vendor(IBM, LSI logic)'s utilities.

The following features will be covered in the following phases:
* Support for other RAID controllers, like Adaptec hardware RAID
controllers;
* Additional RAID management features, like RAID volume scanning,
verifying, and rebuilding, etc;
* Support for additional RAID logical devices, including add-on
battery module, add-on memory/cache module, etc;
* RAID system monitoring features.

The raidctl(1M) man page will be integrated after the onnv putback; here's
a pointer to the final version:

/shared/sac/PSARC/2006/663/raidctl_manpage_new.txt

Bugs against raidctl(1M) should be submitted in solaris/utility/raidctl.
