Hmmm, can't say something about 3ware, but i've tried to get a technical
documentation from LSI on how to program their I2O controller series to
create or remove an RAID array, and the answer i became back (after a lot
of e-mails) was:

AFAIK the managament tool from LSI isn't open source, and there is no
documentation... In oposite to that i've got the spec and the tool from
Adaptec...
