    [/M] [/EM] [/ER] [/ACCEL] [/RA] [/SD]
/?  Displays Help Screen.  Other options ignored.
/Y  Suppress any user input. Used with options /C, /D, /SP & /X.
/Q  Quiet mode / No output. Should not be used with status commands. 

COMMANDS - Only one at a time unless otherwise specified.
/C      Create a volume with the specified name. 
        /S, /DS, /SS, & /L can be specified along with /C.
/SS     Specify strip size in KB.  Only valid with /C.
/L      Specify RAID Level (0, 1, 10, or 5).  Only valid with /C.
/S      Specify volume size in GB or percentage if a '%' is appended. 
        Percentage must be between 1-100.  Only valid with /C.
/DS     Selects the disks to be used in the creation of volume. 
        List should be delimited by spaces.
/D      Delete Volume with specified name.
/X      Remove all metadata from all disks. Use with /DS to delete 
        metadata from selected disks.
/I      Display All Drive/Volume/Array Information.  /P can be specified.
/P      Pause display between sections. Only valid with /I or /ST.
/U      Do not delete the partition table. Only valid with /C on RAID 1 volumes.
/SP     Marks the selected drive(s) as spare(s). Use with /DS
/ST     Display Volume/RAID/Disk Status.
/V      Display version information
/RRT    Create a recovery volume. Only valid with /C. Requires /M.
/Sync   Set sync type for 'Recovery' volume. Only valid with /RRT. 
/M      Specify the port number of the Master disk for 'Recovery' volume. Only 
        valid with /RRT.
/EM     Enable only master disk for recovery volume
/ER     Enable only recovery disk for recovery volume 
        /EM and /ER actions will result in change from Continuous Update mode 
        to On-Request.
/CONCAT Concatenates drives into Optane Volume in postfix mode with
		specified migrations size in megabytes.
		 device_id_of_fast_drive - DeviceId of fast drive
		 device_id_of_slow_drive - DeviceId of slow drive
		 concatenation_boundary_in_MB - concatenation boundary in MB
/DECONCAT	Disables the Optane Volume Acceleration.
/ACCEL  Specify the volume to accelerate and acceleration mode 
         vol_name1 - volume to accelerate 
         cache_vol - the volume to use as cache 
         mode - "enh" for enhanced, "max" - maximized
/RA     Removes the Disk/Volume Acceleration.
