3ware® CLI Guide > Introduction to the 3ware Command Line Interface > Working with 3ware CLI > Conventions

Conventions
The following conventions are used through this guide:
*
In text, monospace font is used for code and for things you type.
*
In descriptions and explanations of commands, a bold font indicates the name of commands and parameters, for example, /c0/p0 show all.
*
In commands, an italic font indicates items that are variable, but that you must specify, such as a controller ID, or a unit ID, for example, /c0/p0 show attribute, and /cx/px show all
*
*
In commands, ellipses (...) indicate that more than one parameter at a time can be included, for example, /c0/p0 show attribute [attribute ...], or that there is a range between two values from which you can pick a value, for example, /cx set carvesize=[1024...2048].
*
In commands, a vertical bar (|) indicates an 'or' situation where the user has a choice between more than one attribute, but only one can be specified.
Example: In the command to rescan all ports and reconstitute all units, the syntax appears as /cx rescan [noscan]. The brackets [ ] indicate that you may omit the noscan parameter, so that the operation will be reported to the operating system.
 
3ware RAID controllers use RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) to increase your storage system’s performance and provide fault tolerance (protection against data loss).
This section organizes information about RAID concepts and configuration levels into the following topics:
