If you start this program without any command-line parameters, the IPSMON program will log the messages to the IPSMON.LOG file, and the messages will not appear on the monitor. The valid parameters for IPSMON are: -f:filename Use the -f parameter to specify the name of the file in which to record messages. The default file name is IPSMON.LOG. -s Use the -s parameter to display messages on the standard output (usually the monitor). -? Use the -? parameter to obtain a current list of valid parameters. After you start the IPSMON program, the program will continuously poll the ServeRAID adapters and controllers until you take one of the following actions: If you are using Windows NT or OS/2, press Ctrl+C. If you are using NetWare, type: unload ipsmon at the system console. If you are using OpenServer or UnixWare, press the Del key to cancel the program. During operation, the program will log various messages. Each message will contain an alert code and a location specifier. The alert code begins with the message type and number. For example, INF, WRN, or CRT, followed by the message number. After the alert code comes the location specifier: A specifies the adapter or controller number SID specifies the SCSI ID (if required) C specifies the channel number (if required) For example, a message of CRTxxx:A2C3SID04 signifies that a Critical condition (CRTxxx) was found on Adapter 2 (A2), Channel 3 (C3), SCSI ID 4 (SID04). The IPSMON program can log the following messages, based on the required condition. Information Messages: INF000:A1C-SID -- no errors detected INF001:A1C-SID -- rebuild started INF002:A1C-SID -- rebuild completed INF003:A1C-SID -- synchronization started INF004:A1C-SID Netfinity 5500 M20 - Type 8662 129
