How to use storcli JBOD commands | Broadcom LSI Tutorial

In this video I'm going to show you how to use the JBOD commands in the Broadcom LSI storcli tool with Broadcom RAID controllers from the 9400, 9500, and 9600 series. I found the documentation on the JBOD related commands to be lacking, and online examples a bit scarce, so I experimented a bit and figured out how the JBOD commands work and thought I should put together a tutorial video. Hope it helps someone who needs this info! :-)
