Is there documentation for the command line interface of the Marvell Disk Storage Utility?

Question

The Marvell Disk Storage Utility (DSU), as required to enable and configure HybridDuo mode with a Highpoint Rocket Hybrid 1220, Asus P8P67DLX or Lycom PE-115H has a command line interface, but neither these websites nor the Marvell website seem to have documentation on the CLI.

If anyone has found the documentation for this, I would be very interested to know where it was located.

While I love the concept of the Marvell 88SE9130 chip, caching a large cheap hard drive on a smaller fast SSD, the web based management console is a bit of a nightmare, so I wonder if it might be quicker and simpler to use the CLI, if only I could find some documentation for it.

I don't know which version of the Marvell software you're using, but I have an HP Gen 10 MicroServer with a Marvell controller. I installed the Marvell Storage Utility on it, and it provided a tool called mvsetup.exe:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Marvell\storage\interface>mvsetup
CLI Version: 4.1.10.16   RaidAPI Version: 5.0.0.1061
Welcome to RAID Command Line Interface.

Typing help gives a list of commands that can be used. help <command> gives more detailed help.

One useful command is smart -p <id>, which gives the SMART information for a particular disk (note: ids start at 0).

Typing quit exits the tool.

This version (and perhaps others) supports commands after the program name, e.g. mvsetup smart -p0.

Note: according to Dell, in Linux/ESXi, the tool seems to be called mvcli.
