RESTORE INIT INITSYNC Use the RESTORE command to load a configuration from a file stored on a diskette or a hard disk drive. The configuration must be a valid configuration file from the BACKUP option on the IBM ServeRAID DOS Configuration Utility Program Diskette or IPSSEND. This operation overwrites the existing configuration information stored for the ServeRAID adapter or controller. Supported operating systems: Windows NT, OS/2, NetWare, OpenServer, UnixWare, and DOS Command: IPSSEND RESTORE Controller Filename Oparm Replace: Controller with the ServeRAID controller number (1 to 8) Filename with the path and file name where the configuration is to be written Oparm with the optional parameter, NOPROMPT, to override the user prompt Use the INIT command to initialize the first 0.5 MB of a logical drive. This process will erase the partition tables on the drive, and all data on the logical drive will be lost. Supported operating systems: Windows NT, OS/2, NetWare, OpenServer, UnixWare, and DOS Command: IPSSEND INIT Controller DriveNum Oparm Replace: Controller with the ServeRAID controller number (1 to 8) DriveNum with the logical drive number (0 to 7) Oparm with the optional parameter, NOPROMPT, to override the user prompt Use the INITSYNC command to initialize and synchronize a logical drive at the same time. This command works only on RAID level-1 and level-5 logical drives. The command will erase the entire logical drive, and all data on the logical drive will be lost.
