Parity: An unexpected event while transferring data on the SCSI bus. This usually indicates a problem with the SCSI cable, connectors, or terminators. Soft: A SCSI device detected a check condition event. Hard: The SCSI controller detected an unexpected event. The controller is the most likely cause. Misc: The ServeRAID adapter or controller detected an event that was most likely caused by the device. The Device Event Log also provides predictive failure analysis (PFA) alerts, which indicate that the device has signaled the ServeRAID adapter or controller that it might fail in the near future. Supported Operating Systems: Windows NT, OS/2, NetWare, OpenServer, UnixWare, and DOS Command: IPSSEND GETEVENT Controller Options SELFTEST Replace: Controller with the ServeRAID controller number (1 to 8) Options with one of the following: DEVICE for Device Event Log, SOFT for the ServeRAID adapter or controller Soft Event Log, or HARD for the ServeRAID adapter or controller Hard Event Log. The SELFTEST command is used to direct an adapter or a device to perform its self-test. Supported operating systems: DOS Command: IPSSEND SELFTEST Controller Options Replace: Controller with the ServeRAID controller number (1 to 8) Options with AD for the ServeRAID adapter or controller self-test or PD Channel SID for the Device self-test. Note Channel represents the drive channel and SID represents the SCSI ID for the device. STARTDELY Use the STARTDELY command to set the number of drives in a group to start up simultaneously and to set the delay in seconds between the startup of these groups of drives. 126 Netfinity Server HMM
