As I mentioned in an earlier post, finding the manual for the MegaCli command was rather hard. I've decided to put some of the more useful commands I've discovered/started using.
MegaCli -AdpAllinfo -a0 -- shows you firmware versions, serial number, and LOTS of useful information.
MegaCli -CfgDsply -aALL -- Also very cool and useful.
MegaCli -PdList -a0 -- give you the disk information which shows media errors which will help if you're having problems with your disks.

Frustrations of the MegaCli tool
If you have ever used the command line tool for Dell PERC controllers, you'll know that MegaCli can be a powerful tool.
The frustrating bit is that the output of MegaCli -h means you're stuck guessing for what each parameter does. Some you can guess, but wouldn't it be nice if you didn't have to guess?
I found a post about the exact same frustration and someone posted the following link to the LSI MegaRAID SAS User's Guide
This is exactly what I was looking for - particularly starting on page 126.
