-s:filename The -s:filename command specifies the name of the file that contains security information. For more about security information, see "Background-server component security" on page 153. -f The -f command specifies to log messages to the default file, IPSADM.LOG. -f:filename The -f:filename command lets you specify the name of a file in which to log messages. -d The -d command disables the logging of messages to the standard output, which is usually the screen. Logging messages: Messages generated by the ServeRAID adapter or controller consist of startup information, connecting and disconnecting clients, and error messages. When using the -f, -f:filename and -d parameters, you can specify how you want the ServeRAID messages handled. The default is to log messages to the standard output, which is usually the screen. However, you can have these messages logged to other output devices, such as a printer or a text file. The following information provides examples of different formats for using the IPSADM command and the results. Command IPSADM IPSADM -f IPSADM -f:NEWFILE.LOG IPSADM -d IPSADM -f -d Results Logs messages to the standard output and not to a file. Logs messages to the standard output and to the IPSADM.LOG file. Logs messages to the standard output and to the file that you defined: NEWFILE.LOG. Disables the logging of messages. Logs messages to the IPSADM.LOG file; however, messages are not logged to the standard output. Background-server component security: Security information is maintained in an optional text file on the server. 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 into the Administration and Monitoring Program (the client), they are encrypted for delivery to the server. The server Netfinity 5500 M20 - Type 8662 153
