Descriptions of the optional command-line parameters are as follows: Command Description -? The -? command displays the help for the valid parameters. -p:number The -p:number command specifies the port number on which the server will check for client connections. The port number is a parameter used in TCP/IP to distinguish between different services on a single server. The default for the ServeRAID utilities is port number 1087. You can change the port number on the command line if another service on the system is using 1087. -d The -d command disables logging of messages to the display. -f The -f command specifies to log messages to the default file, IPSADM.LOG -f:filename The -f:filename command specifies the name of a file in which to log messages. Messages can be logged to the screen or to a text file on the system. The default setting logs messages to the standard output (usually the display), but you can disable this by using the -d parameter. The -f parameter enables logging messages to a file. Messages consist of startup information, connecting and disconnecting clients, and error messages. -s:filename The -s:filename command specifies the name of the file that contains security information. For more information about server security, see "Server Security File." Server Security File: Security information is maintained in an optional text file on the server system. The file stores unencrypted user names and unencrypted passwords; therefore, the file must be kept in a secure directory. When user names and passwords are entered on the Administration and Monitoring utility program (the client), they are encrypted for delivery to the server. The server decrypts the user names and passwords to verify authorized access to the ServeRAID controller. If the verification is successful, the ServeRAID controller accepts commands from the client. If no security file is present in the default directory or the directory specified by the -s 24 Netfinity Server HMM
