camcontrol and IDAD0

The IDA devices are not under the CAM subsystem, so camcontrol will have 
no effect on them.  I assume that you are looking for a way to monitor 
and manage the controller and arrays?  That requires a custom 
application that knows how to speak to the controller firmware.  Even
if IDA were under CAM, camcontrol would not be able to do this.
