View rebuild progress for drive 1:
 megacli -PDRbld -ProgDsply -PhysDrv[1:1] -aALL

View rebuild ETA for drive 1:
 megacli -PDRbld -ShowProg -PhysDrv[1:1] -aALL

View rebuild rate
 megacli -AdpGetProp RebuildRate -Aall

View info on logical drives and physical drives
 megacli -LdPdInfo -aALL

Set drive 1 offline
 megacli -PDOffline -PhysDrv[1:1] –aAll

Set drive 1 online
 megacli -PDOnline -PhysDrv[1:1] –aAll

View info on logical drives
 megacli -LDInfo -Lall -aAll

Setup a new raid1 config from drives 0,1 (works on 2950/Perc5/i/linux)
 megacli -CfgLdAdd -r1[1:0,1:1] WB ADRA Cached -a0

Show adapter info
 megacli adapallinfo a0

view logical drive config info
 megacli cfgdsply a0

view physical drive info for all drives
 megacli pdlist a0

When you create a raid0 mirror you know it’s raid0 per the following in ldinfo:
 RAID Level: Primary-0, Secondary-0, RAID Level Qualifier-0

For raid1 it’s:
 RAID Level: Primary-1, Secondary-0, RAID Level Qualifier-0

Remove LD1
 megacli cfglddel L1 a0

Init a disk
 megacli ldinit start L1 a0 

Check consistency (jail7 freezes when trying to perform):
 megacli -LDCC -Start -L0 -a0

Watch consistency check in realtime:
 megacli -LDCC -ProgDsply -L0 -a0

See consistency check progress snapshot:
 megacli -LDCC -ShowProg -L0 -a0

List adapter serial number and firmware level 
 megacli -AdpAllInfo -aALL

Testing Battery 
 megacli -AdpBbuCmd -aAll

Enclosure info
 megacli -EncInfo -aALL

Controller log
 megacli -FwTermLog -Dsply -aALL     

RAID array status 
  megacli -LDInfo -Lall -aALL

Patrol Read - The megacli tool has a 'patrol read' function which provides for regular media scanning. 
To show the current settings, 
  megacli -AdpPR -Info -aALL

To perform a manual scan, 
 megacli -AdpPR -Start -aALL

The progress can be monitored using the 'Info' option. 
 megacli -AdpPR -Info -aALL

Battery Monitoring 
 megacli -AdpBbuCmd -aALL

Logical Device Consistency Check 
 megacli -LDCC -Start -LALL -aALL
 megacli -LDCC -ShowProg -LALL -aALL

Power Supply Monitoring - The power supply failures are logged through the event log. 
 megacli -AdpEventLog -GetEvents -f /tmp/event.log -a1
This writes a set of event entries into the file. 

RAID 0 to RAID 1 conversion for system disks 
Delete the second raid0 :
 megacli -CfgLdDel L1 -a0
Migrate to raid1 :
 megacli -LDRecon start r1 [Add PhysDrv[32:1]] L0 -a0
Check progression :
 megacli -LDRecon ShowProg L0 -a0

Check the logical drive information and note that it still displays as a 1-disk RAID0 but it also displays the
reconfiguration in progress under “Ongoing Progresses” field. The VD configuration information changes after the Raid Level Migration has completed successfully.
 megacli -LDInfo -Lall -aALL

Converting from RAID-5/Spare to RAID-6 
 megacli -PDHSP -Rmv -PhysDrv [32:5] -a0
 megacli -CfgLdDel L1 -a0
 megacli -CfgLdAdd -r6[32:2,32:3,32:4,32:5] -a0
