The mprutil utility can be used to display or modify various parameters on LSI Fusion-MPS 3 controllers.

The mprutil utility behave identically to mpsutil. (same program)

Each invocation of mpsutil consists of zero or more global options followed by a command. Commands may support additional optional or required arguments after the command.

Currently one global option is supported:
-u unit
  unit specifies the unit of the controller to work with. If no unit is specified, then unit 0 is used.

The mpsutil utility supports several different groups of commands. The first group of commands provide information about the controller. The second group of commands are used to manager controller-wide operations.

The informational commands include:

Controller management commands include:
set ncq [enable|disable ]
  Enables or disables NCQ in the NVRAM of the card.
flash save [firmware|bios ][file]
  Save the firmware or bios from the controller into a local file. If no file is specified then the file will be named firmware or bios.
