As I said in my previous post, this is EXACTLY what was wanted.

Installation of aaccli  was a snap. My only problem was the total lack
of documentation; no man page, no info file.... Capturing the "help"
screens within the CLI was useful, but pretty incomplete.

I found an Adaptec doc, describing their cli-sata-scsi-iug program;
http://download.adaptec.com/pdfs/installation_guides/cli-sata-scsi-iug.pdf 

This seems to be exactly what aaccli is. 

Since I usually do this sort of work outside of X, at the console, I
converted the adaptec  pdf file into a text file using pdftotext. The
ridiculous copyright restrictions on this file prevents me from
producing a man page, or an info file for redistribution as part of the
port!

So; If anyone wants either the pdf file, or the converted text file, I
would be glad to email same. Just send an email to
rrichard at blythe-systems.com and ask for
either my  /usr/local/share/cli/cli-sata-scsi-iug.pdf or for my 
/usr/local/share/cli/cli-sata-scsi-iug.txt.

Bob
