566.It Cm start patrol
567Start a patrol read operation.
568.It Cm stop patrol
569Stop a currently running patrol read operation.
570.It Cm flash Ar file
571Updates the flash on the controller with the firmware stored in
572.Ar file .
573A reboot is required for the new firmware to take effect.
574.It Cm start learn
575Start a battery relearn.
576.It Cm bbu Ar setting Ar value
577Update battery backup unit (BBU) properties related to battery relearning.
578The following settings are configurable:
579.Bl -tag -width indent
580.It Cm learn-delay
581Add a delay to the next scheduled battery relearn event. This setting is
582given in hours and must lie in the range of 0 to 255.
583.It Cm autolearn-mode
584Enable or disable automatic periodic battery relearning.
585The setting may be set to
586.Dq enable
587or
588.Dq disable
589to respectively enable or disable the relearn cycle.
590Alternatively, a mode of 0, 1 or 2 may be given.
591Mode 0 enables periodic relearning, mode 1 disables it, and mode 2 disables
592it and logs a warning to the event log when it detects that a battery relearn
593should be performed.
594.It Cm bbu-mode
595Set the BBU's mode of operation. This setting is not supported by all BBUs.
596Where it is supported, the possible values are the integers between 1 and 5
597inclusive.
598Modes 1, 2 and 3 enable a transparent learn cycle, whereas modes 4 and 5 do not.
599The BBU's data retention time is greater when transparent learning is not used.
